Italian 2-Fogli (39.25" x 55")
Very Fine Folded; Artist Enzo Nistri
20th Century Fox, 1969

While the overall epic battle background artwork from Italian artist Enzo Nistri is highly notable here; it's the provocative depiction of the fetching Raquel Welch drenched under a shower that makes this 2-Fogli a must-own.

A folded poster with faint edge wear and minor separation of the vertical fold ends and the three center point cross folds. All of which have a small amount of archival tape on the verso for reinforcement. Otherwise, the poster is very clean and vivid.

This film, about a bounty hunter and a bandit forced to team up when captured by the Mexican army, stars Burt Reynolds, Raquel Welch, and Jim Brown, was filmed entirely in Almeria, Spain. Based on the book The Californio by Robert McCleod, it was one of Reynolds' first significant film roles (he had worked mostly in TV up until this time). He was so unknown at the time that Welch had never even heard of him before he was cast. The film is especially notable for the love scene between Brown and Welch, one of the first times that such an intimate scene was shot with two actors of different races.
