About the Item
Original 1968 style B film poster. The artwork is by Jack Davis (1924-2016)
This size poster was used for drive-ins and special displays. It was printed on a heavier paper stock and was distributed rolled. Far fewer of this size poster were printed, and many got folded over the years. This poster is in its original unfolded state.
The party is built around the classic premise of the fish out of water,
by accident, a clumsy Indian film extra is invited to an exclusive Hollywood party and comedy ensues as he fails to conform to the event’s social norms. Director Blake Edwards mimics with his camera the slow, meandering movement peculiar to parties, trailing Peter Sellers as he blunders his way across the packed premises.
Davis’s drawing is part of a small but distinguished body of poster artwork by the prominent American cartoonist. Davis is best known for his work as an artist and character designer for the comic book publisher Entertaining Comics, but was also active in magazine illustration and various forms of advertising. His poster for The Party brilliantly showcases his talent.
This poster is unfolded and conservation linen backed and would be shipped rolled in a strong tube and sent by Federal Express.
