'Counselor at Crime' original 1973 movie poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Shock and awe! Original Counselor at Crime vintage movie poster. 'Good with the Law, Better with a Gun! Paper, original theater fold. Very good condition without any paper loss or tears. 1973 When the godson of San Francisco's crime lord asks permission to leave "the business," Don Antonio (Martin Balsam) agrees, but reluctantly. Such behavior by either one is a violation of the code, and a bloody mob war breaks out. It is only through the strong support of his family connections in Sicily that Don Antonio is able to survive the melee and come out on top. Aghast at the situation he has caused, the godson (Tomas Milian) becomes his leader's "consigliere," or Counselor at Crime. This Italian movie was filmed in English in San Francisco, California, and Palermo, Sicily. This is a man-cave vintage poster, one that you very seldom see or have the chance to purchase. Printed in black and white with red to grab your attention. Italian movie in English. The poster was originally folded, like all early movie posters, so that it could be sent to the movie theater. Original fold marks. Some small scuff marks at the fold marks. No tears. The original fold marks are not classified as flaws in old movie posters...
