Artist: Brian Bysouth
Important Added Info: Note that we marked this English one-sheet as being from the 1982 re-release of this classic movie because it has "The Return of the Great Adventure" at the top. But something odd is that we have never seen a 1981 English one-sheet! There ARE British quads that are clearly from 1981, but why would they have not made a one-sheet as well? If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this English one-sheet measures 26 3/4" x 39 3/4" [68 x 101 cm], but it has not been trimmed.

Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson.

Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since!

But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world!

Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions!

As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked).

This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones).

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled!

Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Steven Spielberg".

Condition: very good. The poster has a partial extra vertical fold, and a few faint creases scattered throughout.
