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...
