One of the rarest and most sought after posters from Clint Eastwood's debut as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan. Three designs were used for the 40 x 60 format in the US, with the other two being in the styles of Time and Life magazines respectively. All the designs are hard to find in any condition and this example on offer here is certainly the most stylish of the three.

Provenance: David Frangioni is a published author, music businessman, producer, technologist, engineer, philanthropist, and drummer. He has worked with Aerosmith, Shakira, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Robbie Williams, and hundreds more. He is CEO of Modern Drummer Magazine and has several books published, including Clint Eastwood: Icon: The Essential Film Art Collection and Crash: The World's Greatest Drum Kits, both by Insight Editions. Frangioni is considered one of the world's most prominent and knowledgeable collectors of Clint Eastwood memorabilia and boasts an enviable archive of movie posters and memorabilia.
