SOME KIND OF A NUT 1969 Dick Van Dyke Angie Dickinson, Jack Davis UK QUAD POSTER

Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1969 Garson Kanin Comedy SOME KIND OF A NUT starring Dick Van Dyke, Angie Dickinson, Rosemary Forsyth, Zohra Lampert, Elliot Reid, Peter Brocko and Connie Gilchrist.

In this satirical comedy, Fred Amidon is a Fifth Avenue bank teller waiting for his divorce to be finalized to end his marriage to Rachel. He and fellow employee Pamela plan to marry once the ink dries on the decree. A Central Park picnic with Pamela finds Fred suffering a bee sting on his chin, which he covers with a bandage. Fred then goes on a three-week vacation, and during that time he grows a beard because the bee sting makes it difficult to shave. He returns to work, and when he refuses to shave, he is branded a rebel and a symbolic hero in the worker struggle against management.

The poster art is by Jack Davis (1924 - 2016). An American cartoonist and illustrator, known for his advertising art, magazine covers, film posters, record album art and numerous comic book stories. He was one of the founding cartoonists for Mad (an American humour magazine founded in 1952 by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines) in 1952. His cartoon characters are characterized by extremely distorted anatomy, including big heads, skinny legs and large feet.

The poster is in fine folded condition.
