An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 80" [61 x 203 cm]) (Learn More) Macho Callahan, the 1970 Bernard L. Kowalski Mexican/U.S. cowboy western ("A fugitive exploding from prison! Hunted by killers! Led by the woman who wanted him... Beaten, Broken or Dead!"; "If Macho does this to a man who crosses him... just think what he does to a woman."; "Loving comes hard... killing comes easy."; "He made her a widow on her wedding night. She wanted him dead. She wanted him."; "Based on a story by Richard Carr") starring David Janssen (in the title role as Diego Callahan), Jean Seberg, Lee J. Cobb, James Booth, Pedro Armendariz Jr., and David Carradine. Note that this movie obviously was an homage/ripoff of Clint Eastwood movies, and not only was the lead character named for the Dirty Harry character, but the Italian one-panel poster for this movie uses the poster art used on Eastwood's A Fistful of Dollars by Sandro Symeoni! 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 this poster has a kind of day-glo reddish orange that is incredibly hard to photograph! It looks in our image like it is a dull orange, but in person it looks far more bright (like the kinds of day-glo posters that were sold in head shops in the late 1960s). Also note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: very good. There are some scuffs and dot stains scattered throughout the poster (see our image).
