The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, the 1968 Robert Ellis Miller coming-of-age-in-the-South melodrama ("Carson McCullers' searching and sensitive story that has become an 'enduring masterpiece'"; "...and from this man who could not speak or hear, the girl heard many things."; "The sun woke Mick up early. She was different in body... in mind... than she was yesterday. And there was no one to talk to except Mr. Singer, who couldn't speak or hear, only 'listen' with his heart."; "She thought he was a creep - a deaf-mute dummy who could only watch life go by. And yet in his own way, he helped them all - especially the young girl trapped in the terrible dilemma of innocence lost."; "This was the summer Mick Kelly was scared-she trespassed into an adult world so maybe the tears would quiet down-"; "From the novel by Carson McCullers") starring (in alphabetical order) Alan Arkin (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Laurinda Barrett, Stacy Keach (billed as "Stacy Keach Jr."; in his first movie role!), Chuck McCann, Biff McGuire, Percy Rodriguez, Cicely Tyson, and Sondra Locke (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; billed as "introducing Sondra Locke")

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this three-sheet was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Finally, note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces).

Condition: good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). There is much darkening and staining on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds.
