BEGUILED 1971 Clint Eastwood, Geraldine Page BOB PEAK US 1-SHEET POSTER

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1971 Don Siegel Western THE BEGUILED starring Clint Eastwood, Geraldine Page, Elizabeth Hartman, Jo Ann Harris, Darleen Carr, Mae Mercer, Pamelyn Ferdin, Melody Thomas, Peggy Drier and Pattye Mattick.

A strange, often beautiful cult Western chiller starring Eastwood as an injured Yankee soldier taking refuge in an isolated Southern seminary for young women. Eastwood provides the sexual spark for the women’s fantasies and his lack of response and manipulation of the situation lead to a terrible recvenge.

The poster art is by Robert "Bob" M. Peak (1927 - 1992). Bob Peak is best known for his developments in the design of the modern American movie poster. He was born in Denver, Colorado and graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California in 1951. In 1961 United Artists hired Peak to design the poster images for the film West Side Story. The success of Peak's work on that film led to work on posters for designer Bill Gold, including the big-budget musicals My Fair Lady and Camelot. In the mid-1970s Peak's style would become familiar to fans of science fiction films when he created the poster art for the futuristic film Rollerball (1975), which was followed by the first five Star Trek films, Superman (1978), Excalibur (1981), Apocalypse Now (1979), The Spy Who Loved Me and other James Bond concepts.

The poster is in very good folded condition with one or two pinholes. The poster was gently folded an extra time and the fold lines are now faintly visible.
