Description
Poster for this 1974 Film Noir classic starring Jack Nicholson & directed by enfant terrible, Roman Polanski. The UK Quad poster boasts an illustration by Jim Pearsall which captures the essence of the period with the classy art-nouveau design. The device of the cigarette smoke languidly transforming into an picture of Faye Dunaway was adapted for posters in foreign jurisdictions. For comparison we show both the German poster (art by American artist Richard Amsel) & the un-credited French version too (images courtesy of www.moviepostermem.com). The UK Quad presented here has been linen-backed.
