This auction is for a very unique poster created to advertise the release of the movie The French Connection from 1971 starring Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider and directed by William Friedkin. The poster, which measures 7"x31", is rolled and in very good, never used condition. As the advertising suggests "See the Movie" - "Read the Book".... I've had this in my collection for many years and have never seen another copy of it. The film reel style is very interesting. Item will be packaged well and includes insurance. (Custom frame is available for this size and any size - inquire before purchase for information)
