DescriptionA British drama from 1980 which is best remembered for a compelling early performance by Helen Mirren & the poster itself. The poster was illustrated by Sam Peffer. Sam Peffer & Thomas William Chantrell were responsible for the vast bulk of the poster artwork for the "exploitation" genre of films which proved so popular in the cinemas of Britain in the 1970's & early 80's. Though perhaps lacking Chantrell's flair & versatility, Peffer nonetheless created some stunning & finely illustrated poster designs. One of Peffer's most famous (& joyously "over-the-top) creations being "Flesh Gordon" shown here courtesy of
