Original Movie Poster Style B
Theatrical release one sheet movie poster (pre-1985).
The most common and "most collectible" type of American movie poster, one sheets
are original movie posters and not copies. Nearly all one sheets printed before
1985 measure a full 27"x41". Most recent one sheets are approximately 27"x40"
and always in a vertical format. Up until the early 1980's, most (not all) were
issued folded with one vertical and three horizontal creases. Some posters were
issued tri-folded, and are still used in theaters today. The standard U.S.
poster is now always issued rolled.
This movie art item is an authentic original piece - the same
item that is used in actual movie theaters. Original movie art items are valued
by collectors worldwide and can increase in value over time.
Synopsis:
Daring. Provocative. Shocking. Compelling. Nearly thirty years after its
original release, "Midnight Cowboy is still heartbreaking and timeless" (The New
York Observer). This Academy AwardŽ winner* for Best Picture, Director and
Screenplay also boasts OscarŽ-nominated** performances by Dustin Hoffman and Jon
Voight, neither of whom have "ever been better on screen than they are here"
(Chicago Tribune)!
When Joe Buck (Voight), a good-looking, naively charming Texas "cowboy" makes
his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the
friendship of Ratso Rizzo (Hoffman), a scrounging, sleazy, small-time con man
with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts
develop an unlikely bond one that transcends their broken dreams and
get-rich-quick schemes and makes Midnight Cowboy "that rarest of things: [a
film] every bit as moving now as it was when it was [first] released"
(Premiere).
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Sylvia
