A fantastic original vintage 1973 British Quad movie poster for the classic prison drama Papillon, starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.
An excellent piece of original 1970s cinema memorabilia, this UK Quad was produced for the film's original theatrical release and is a great opportunity for collectors of classic movie posters, Hollywood memorabilia and Steve McQueen.
Released in 1973, Papillon is based on the autobiography of French convict Henri Charrière, nicknamed “Papillon”.
The film stars two major Hollywood names:
⭐ Steve McQueen as Henri “Papillon” Charrière
⭐ Dustin Hoffman as Louis Dega
The film was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, whose other notable films include Planet of the Apes and Patton.
Set largely within the notorious French penal system, Papillon follows the story of Papillon's determination to survive imprisonment and ultimately escape.
The film has become one of the best-known prison and adventure films of the 1970s, and its combination of Steve McQueen, Dustin Hoffman and an epic true-life-inspired story has ensured its enduring popularity.
This is an original British Quad cinema poster, produced for the UK theatrical release of Papillon in 1973.
The traditional British Quad format measures approximately 30 x 40 inches (76 x 102 cm), making it an impressive size for display.
