eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 6f364 GETAWAY British quad 1972 Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw, different escape art & very rare! Date Sold 5/21/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Getaway, the classic 1972 Sam Peckinpah romantic crime action thriller ("Screenplay by Walter Hill"; "From the novel by Jim Thompson") starring Steve McQueen (as Doc McCoy), Ali MacGraw (as Carol McCoy), Ben Johnson (as Jack Beynon), Al Lettieri (as Rudy Butler), Sally Struthers ("as Fran"), Slim Pickens, Jack Dodson, Dub Taylor, and Bo Hopkins. Note that the source novel of this movie was pretty "unfilmable" as written (especially the ending!), but Walter Hill did an excellent job adapting it, and while it is not the same story, it is in many ways faithful to the original, and it is certainly one of the best movies of its kind ever made! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this poster (in 2018 and it sold for $420)! It is not the "regular" style British quad. We found a website that identified it as a "style B advance teaser", but we are not sure where they got that from, so we don't want to use any of those three terms unless we can verify them (and we are calling this an "escape style" to differentiate it fro the "regular" British quad in our auction history.) The image that is on this poster is not on any other poster for this movie we have seen. If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The poster has several fine creases scattered in various areas (they are not very noticeable or distracting and most appear in areas of bank paper) and there are some very light horizontal and vertical creases (the poster was stored next to some folded posters for a period of time). There are a few faint smudges around the edges and there is some slight discoloration in small portions of the upper blank corners. The rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it should display well from a reasonable viewing distance! Learn More about condition grades
