Vintage Posters

Original vintage poster insert with great artwork for The Stunt Man, a 1980 American action comedy film directed by Richard Rush. The movie was adapted by Lawrence B. Marcus and Rush from the novel by Paul Brodeur. It tells the story of a young fugitive who hides as a stunt double on the set of an anti-war movie whose charismatic director will do seemingly anything for the sake of his art. Although nominated for three Academy Awards (Best Actor in a Leading Role (Peter O'Toole), Best Director (Richard Rush), and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium), its limited release condemed it to somewhat obscurity in the US.
