A striking first-release Swedish poster for Where Eagles Dare. This sadly unattributed artwork puts Richard Burton front and centre flanked by Clint Eastwood and Mary Ure armed with machine guns. As with many posters from this action-packed movie, the famous cable car from the film's climax is featured in the background engulfed in flames.

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.
