Paul Newman 'The Hustler' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Australian, 1962

About the Item

A sumptuous stone lithography daybill for the first Australian release of 1961 classic drama 'The Hustler,' starring Paul Newman as small-time pool shark "Fast Eddie" Felson, determined to make it to the top. Following the design of the US One Sheet poster, the Australian daybill focused on a steamy embrace between Newman and co-star Piper Laurie. The film received both popular and critical acclaim on release, earning nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Film and Best Actor for Newman, though he wouldn't win until he reprised the role 25 years later for Martin Scorsese's 'The Color of Money.' Printed in Australia by Robert Burton Pty. Ltd., Sydney. Conservation backed on linen with no restoration. Backing has smoothed the two standard horizontal machine folds so that they are virtually invisible. Minor nicks to edges. Blue printer's ink scuff to white ground. Image and colors excellent.

'Taxi Driver' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Australian, 1976
By Guy Peelleart
Located in Devon, GB
Set amidst the moral decay of New York City following the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal, Martin Scorsese's 1976 psychological thriller "Taxi Driver" starred Robert De Niro as a lonely and disturbed anti-hero cab driver and war vet growing increasingly alienated and unhinged as his dreams of cleaning up the corrupt and sleazy city lead him down a path of violence, plotting to assassinate both a presidential candidate and the pimp of an underage prostitute, played by a 12 year old Jodie Foster. Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, it was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro and Best Supporting Actor for Foster. De Niro's "You talkin' to me?" scene, where he imagines a confrontation in front of a mirror, gave us one of the most iconic quotes in movie history. This Australian Daybill poster features the same atmospheric Guy Peellaert...
