Chinatown (1974)
Original US poster
Artist: Jim Pearsall (dates unknown)

Unframed: 40 x 30 in. (102 x 76 cm)

Unfolded and linen backed

This size poster was used for drive-ins and special displays. It was printed on a heavier paper stock and was distributed rolled. Far fewer of this size poster were printed, and many got folded over the years. This poster is in its original unfolded state.

Roman Polanski directed this classic 1970s film, in the style of the 1940s film noirs. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway gave great performances, and the film was nominated for eleven Oscars, but only won one for Best Screenplay by Robert Towne.

Near mint condition, colours remaining very bright. There are a couple of marks along the edge of the left-hand border, which are from the original printing.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
