Poster on linen Paul Newman is COOL HAND LUKE 1967 US1sht ORIGINAL LINENBACKED

Original 1967 USA ONE SHEET (41 inches by 27 inches) poster used in movie theaters for marketing in America. This rare vintage movie paper is in VERY GOOD+ condition. The poster had tiny paper loss at the cross folds and some small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking, the poster was nicely backed, increasing its quality.

Exciting, colorful and classic anti-hero imagery. 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.
