Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Original US poster
Unframed: 22 x 14 in. (56 x 36 cm)

Unfolded and paper backed

Several different size posters were designed featuring this artwork. However, this size poster was printed using more pink tones, which gives it a real depth of colour.

This film was directed by Stuart Rosenberg, and stars Paul Newman and features George Kennedy, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Newman had the leading role as Luke, who was sentenced to two years in a Florida prison, and who refused to comply with the rules. The film contains one of cinema's well know scenes, where Luke eats fifty hard boiled eggs in just one hour ! It also has one of the most memorable lines said by the Captain to Luke "what we've got here is failure to communicate".

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, minor restoration to the white blank area at the top of the piece.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on paper
