The Hustler (1961)
Original US poster, re-release 1964

Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm)

Linen backed

The film came out in 1961, and the main poster for its initial release showed Paul Newman and Piper Laurie embracing. When the film was re-released in 1964 a new poster was designed, which truly reflected the film. This is the more desirable and collected poster on the film.

This classic 1960s pool hustling film was directed by Robert Rosse, and stars Paul Newman as 'Fast' Eddie and Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats, together with Piper Laurie as Sarah.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor restoration to folds.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
