Poster folded Paul Newman is COOL HAND LUKE 1967 US HALF 22x28 ORIGINAL

Original 1967 USA HALF SHEET (22 inches by 28 inches) poster used in movie theaters for marketing in America. This rare vintage movie paper is in GOOD+ condition with age-appropriate appearance and natural edge wear. An unrestored poster with good color and an overall very presentable appearance.

It shows minor fold wear, pinholes, fold separations, stains, smudges, and tape remnants within the upper image. Exciting, colorful and classic anti-hero imagery on poster that was machine folded at one time but has been laying-flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. What we've got here is failure to communicate.

A laid back Southern man is sentenced to two years in a rural prison, but refuses to conform. Luke Jackson is a cool, gutsy prisoner in a Southern chain gang, who, while refusing to buckle under to authority, keeps escaping and being recaptured. The prisoners admire Luke because, as Dragline explains it, You're an original, that's what you are! Nevertheless, the camp staff actively works to crush Luke until he finally breaks. Nominated for FOUR Academy Award OSCARs including Best Actor (Paul Newman) and Best Adapted Screenplay. WON OSCAR for Best Supporting Actor (George Kennedy). Robert Drivas, JD Cannon, Clifton James, Jo Van Fleet, Luke Askew, Morgan Woodward, Dennis Hopper, Wayne Rogers, Harry Dean Stanton, Charles Tyner, Ralph Waite, Joy Harmon, Buck Kartalian, Joe Don Baker, James Gammon, Rance Howard.
