Hi, Everyone, I just went to my office and pulled the poster---it's actually a 1974 reissue, not a 1974. That makes perfect sense. The studio wanted to cash in on the success of The Sting. In the bottom left border below R74/313, is printed ROBERT REDFORD AS "BIG HALSY"---All this makes perfect sense. What DOESN'T make sense, though, is apparently how FEW of these things there are out there. Strange, though, now that I look at the top of the poster I notice is written: ROBERT REDFORD THE MOST EXCITING STAR IN MOVIES TODAY In The Motion Picture That Everyone's Discovering From The Producer of "The Godfather" and the director of "Lady Sings The Blues" I'm sure it was the success of The Sting that did it, though. Funny, in looking at the portrait of Redford, shirtless with a bandana tied around his neck---looking VERY LITTLE like Redford....more like the hot blond star of a 70's porno flick. Who knows...maybe Redford didn't like it and asked for the posters to be pulled... Rick
