This is an original, linen-backed, advance one-sheet movie poster from 1974 for The Taking of Pelham One Two Three starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam, Hector Elizondo, and Jerry Stiller. Joseph Sargent directed the movie.

The poster measures 27" x 41" and has been linen-backed for long-term preservation and display. The poster was in very good condition prior to restoration with pinholes in the corners from theatrical display and some scattered creases and surface scuffs from previous handling. It was folded at the time of printing and had some minor fold and cross-fold wear.  The folds are less noticeable after backing. Linen-backed posters are stored flat and rolled for shipping in a rigid, tube mailer.

Please look closely at the photos (this is the exact poster you are buying). The black circles in the corners of the poster are magnets and not pins.

This rare and collectible poster, printed in 1974 to tease the theatrical release of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, is not a reproduction or a reprint.
