Original first year of release 1969 UK Quad film poster for Sam Peckinpah's ultra-violent Western "The Wild Bunch". This example is the rarely seen 70mm 'Roadshow' version which was only printed for use in a handful of leading London cinemas. Hugely influential in its depiction of bloody and graphic violence, which made it hugely controversial when screened. The advertising campaign predominantly used the same imagery; the gang of nine men all facing away from the camera, appearing to be striding off into the sunset or battle, with only the colour palette being changed for different countries. A bright orange hue was used in Britain. Presented in unrestored, rolled (as issued) high-grade original condition.

30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)

Condition: Very Good

Unrestored, originally rolled (as issued). Bottom left edge has crinkling (6") with tiny paper loss to left corner. Minor wear from rolling but overall generally very good with strong unfaded colours and bright whites.
