  Jaws

  £1,295.00

  “Amity Island had everything. Clear skies. Gentle surf. Warm water. People flocked there every summer…It was the perfect feeding ground.”

  Probably the most important film of ‘modern’ cinema, launching a movie trend that is now commonly referred to as the ‘Summer Blockbuster’. It also happens to be one of the best and most memorable movie poster images ever ! Designed by The Seiniger Advertising Agency with finished artwork by Roger Kastel the poster has attained cult status. Once you’ve seen the film (& who hasn’t) you see the poster and you just can’t get John Williams’ distinctive soundtrack out of your head. This original large format 60″ x 40″ poster for Steven Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece “Jaws” is one of the best; totally unrestored this originally folded (as issued) example displays very well with only very minimal handling wear. Perfect, deep rich colours this is truly impressive in this large format. The first time we have ever offered one in twenty years, it’s an extremely rare film poster that presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a key item of highly sought after, collectable original movie memorabilia…“You’re gonna need a bigger boat !”

  Trivia: Several decades after the film’s release, Lee Fierro, who played Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an “Alex Kintner Sandwich.” She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago; the owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her, and he was none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot.
