Chinatown (1974), poster, US
Artist: Jim Pearsall (dates unknown)
Unframed: 40 x 30 in. (102 x 76 cm)
The artwork on this piece was also used on the standard size US poster. This format poster, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples.
This poster does not surface very often.
Roman Polanski directed this classic 1970s film, in the style of the 1940s film noirs. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway gave great performances, and the film was nominated for eleven Oscars, but only won one for Best Screenplay by Robert Towne.
Condition Report:
Unfolded and linen backed
Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
