Very Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Linda Fennimore (1)
Paramount, 1978

"Grease" was certainly the word in the summer of 1978 when this film hit movie screens and became a smash hit. This group of two posters includes the advance one sheet, featuring outstanding artwork of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John by artist Linda Fennimore. It is folded and in outstanding condition, with only general fold wear and a crisp white background. Also included is the film's three sheet, which is folded and printed on one panel. It shows pinholes, a small bottom-edge chip, and a diagonal crease across the bottom-left panel. The grade shown is an average of the two posters.

"Grease," directed by Randal Kleiser, follows greaser Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and transfer student Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) as their summer romance faces high school challenges. Released by Paramount, it became a critical and commercial hit, set box-office records for musicals, spawned a best-selling soundtrack, and earned an Academy Award nomination for "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

Estimate: $300 - 600
