Anyone have more info on this poster? I can find no record of it selling anywhere. Also, while eMovie listed it as a 70s re-release, I'm not convinced that it isn't a first release poster. For starters, it's says
Prima Edizione Italiana 1969 at the bottom. It also uses the W7 Warner-Seven Arts logo. That company only existed for a short time from 1967 to 1970 after Warner's merger with Seven Arts. They only produced a handful of films, Bonnie and Clyde, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt and The Wild Bunch being the most notable titles. Of the films they produced (and that were released in Italy) after Wild Bunch, here is the list:
7/18/69 The Wild Bunch
9/3/69 The Valley of Gwangi
9/10/69 The Great Bank Robbery
10/12/69 The Madwoman of Chaillot
11/12/69 The Arrangement
11/19/69 The Good Guys and the Bad Guys
1/14/70 Last of the Mobile Hot Shots
2/4/70 Start the Revolution Without Me
3/1/70 Moon Zero Two
Have a look at the logos:
Valley of Gwangi
Great Bank Robbery
Madwoman of Chaillot
Arrangement
Good Guys and the Bad Guys
Last of the Mobile Hot Shots
Start the Revolution Without Me
Moon Zero Two
So even though "Warner-Seven Arts" existed into mid-1970 before officially becoming just "Warner Bros" again, I can't find any use of the W7 logo post-1969. I'm assuming by the time those last few W7 films (starting with The Arrangement in late 1969) got distribution in Italy the change had already happened or the writing was on the wall and the decision was made to use the new WB logo.
Anyway, this is all to say that I think this day-glo poster could indeed be a first release. I know I paid a first release price for it!
That said, even it it turns out to be an early re-release I'm still thrilled to own this one.
