History
This is an original Australian daybill movie poster for the 1971 Western film 'A Gunfight,' produced by Paramount Pictures and directed by Lamont Johnson. The film starred Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash in a unique Western about two aging gunfighters who stage a public duel as a paid spectacle. Australian daybill posters from this era are particularly collectible due to their distinctive long, narrow format (typically 13x30 inches) and limited print runs compared to American one-sheets. Vintage movie posters from the 1970s, especially those featuring iconic stars like Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash, are highly sought after by film memorabilia collectors, Western genre enthusiasts, and fans of both actors. The poster's bold graphic design with the red and blue color blocking and dramatic imagery of the gunfight makes it a visually striking piece of cinema history. Collectors particularly value original theatrical release posters in good condition, as they represent authentic artifacts from the film's initial distribution and capture the marketing aesthetic of early 1970s cinema.
