The Empire Strikes Back 1980 Australian Daybill Film Poster, Ohrai, Star Wars

About the Item

Extremely rare first-year-of-release Australian Daybill film poster for The Empire Strikes Back. Arguably the best film of the Star Wars franchise, Noriyoshi Ohrai's design that features on this original movie poster is certainly one of the most sought-after designs for the title. This vintage movie poster is sized 13 1/4 x 28 inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed). Comes with fantastic provenance. From the personal collection of someone who worked in the cinema industry for over 60 years in New Zealand. They started out in the late 50s putting the posters up around town, shortly after as a projectionist and from the 1980s onwards, owner of a number of cinemas themselves.
