  The Long Good Friday

  £60.00

  “Nothing unusual,” he says! Eric’s been blown to smithereens, Colin’s been carved up, and I’ve got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual?”

  A critical and commercial success and perhaps the best British movie (gangster or otherwise) ever made…John MacKenzie’s “The Long Good Friday”. Receiving a very limited release in UK cinemas (it was nearly never released due to financial problems & only saved as a cinematic production by George Harrison, with his Handmade Films stepping in at the 11th hour) meant that any paper is scarce, with black and white promotional and press stills particularly elusive. making this original 1980 British, country of origin example, a rare find especially in such high grade condition. The imagery featured is one the most memorable scenes from the film, as Harold (Bob Hoskins) in an effort to find out who is threatening him interrogates fellow mobsters by hanging them upside down on meathooks in a freezing abattoir. Presented flat (as issued) it represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia from a true British gangster classic…“The Mafia? I’ve shit ’em”

  Trivia: The actors being held upside-down on meathooks in the abattoir had to be supported between takes, to prevent them passing out.
