VISTA Promotional Tie-In Poster (18" x 24")
Very Fine- Rolled
Vista Promotional Poster, 1967

This promotional poster, created and distributed by VISTA, AmeriCorps, emphasizes a national service program dedicated to combating poverty. Initially conceived by President John F. Kennedy, VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) was established in 1965 and became part of the AmeriCorps network in 1993. The tagline, "You can put off plastics for a year," cleverly references a famous line from a well-known film.

This stylish poster features Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate. It is rolled and has corner pinholes with cellophane tape on the back, as well as sporadic edge wear, crimping, and a few larger creases that are mostly unobtrusive. This poster serves as an interesting tie-in to the highly acclaimed film directed by Mike Nichols.

Dustin Hoffman achieved his big-screen breakthrough and received a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role in this classic coming-of-age film directed by Mike Nichols, who won Best Director at the same ceremony. In the movie, Hoffman plays an aimless college graduate who is seduced by an older woman, portrayed by Anne Bancroft. The film remains beloved for its soundtrack by the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel and its exceptional script.

Estimate: $400 - 800
