The Incident, the 1968 Larry Peerce subway hostage crime thriller ("Hits like a switchblade knife!"; "Explodes with the shock of a switchblade knife!"; "At 1:25 A.M. Alice Keenan asked Tony Goya to make love to her. That was 37 minutes before The Incident. At 1:33 A.M. Mrs. Purvis accused her husband of being less than a man. That was 29 minutes before The Incident. At 1:39 A.M. Kenneth Otis tried to make a pick-up for the evening. That was 23 minutes before The Incident. At 1:47 A.M. Arnold told his wife he would get the next white man who insulted him. That was 15 minutes before The Incident. At 1:55 A.M. Joe Ferrone and Artie Connors went looking for kicks. They found it 7 minutes later in The Incident."; "As shocking as anything let loose on the screen!"; "'Maybe you can take care of us, lady - and maybe we can take care of you too!"'; "'The next white man who insults me gets a one-way ticket to the graveyard!'"; "'How is she in the clutch? Since you're nuzzling her on the subway, I figure anything can happen!'"; "A ride with terror!") starring Victor Arnold, Robert Bannard, Beau Bridges, Ruby Dee, Robert Fields, Jack Gilford, Mike Kellen, Ed McMahon, Gary Merrill, Donna Mills, Tony Musante, Brock Peters, Thelma Ritter, Martin Sheen, Jan Sterling, and Diane Van der Vlis. Note that Martin Sheen and Tony Musante were unknowns who played the punks who terrorized the subway passengers, and both received much acclaim for their performances, and both went on to long careers in both movies and television.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! Also note that this twenty-four sheet was printed in 12 sections designed to overlap. Note that the poster is not "tri-folded", but was folded an extra time at some point many years ago (perhaps it was distributed that way). This is helpful in that it does not need to be sent in a very large flat package, but can instead be sent in a box that measures approximately 15" x 12" x 4".

Condition: very good to fine. The poster has some pretty minor fold and border wear, but overall has survived in pretty nice condition (likely about as nice as one could hope for with a poster of this size and age)!
