In 1978, Bob Dylan, through his own film production and distribution company, Lombard Films, released RENALDO AND CLARA, a quasi-fictional, semi-documentary record of the famous Rolling Thunder Revue Concerts of 1975. Dylan and an entourage of friends and musical colleagues set out to play smaller surprise venues throughout the U.S. Musicians on the tour included Joan Baez, Bob Neuwirth, Ronee Blakelee, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Sam Shepherd, Allen Ginzburg, Mick Ronson, and several others. Dylan’s then wife Sara Dylan also appears in the film. Critics did not know what to make of the movie and quickly pronounced it a mess, more or less. It was long, sometimes discursive, always obtuse. But in its 235 minute run-time, it documented a lot of good music in what was one of the most interesting tours in the history of American Popular Music. The film was cut to two hours and received some additional but minimal distribution. This one sheet is for the original release from Dylan’s own company. Rare. Rolled one sheet has some minor edge glitches, but is overall in very fine plus condition. No folds.

Signed original Pennebaker Films One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the masterful cinema verite music documentary by D. A. Pennebaker, DON’T LOOK BACK (1967)—documenting Bob Dylan’s first performing tour of The United Kingdom. In 1965, at age 23, Dylan spends three weeks touring England where he performs, hangs out, and meets the press, various characters and other musicians. The film documents a period in Dylan’s career just before he morphs from a “folk” singer into a rocker. Dylan brings an entourage with him, including singer Joan Baez and musician-buddy Bobby Neuwirth. The entourage encounter British singer Donovan (Leitch), rocker Alan Price and folk legend Derroll Adams among others. Fascinating glimpses of Dylan’s manager Albert Grossman and a mysterious appearance by poet Allen Ginsberg in the movie’s “film within a film” opening add to the eternal lure of this fascinating film. Simply put, one of the most famous documentary films ever made. An artifact from the period when young singers and performers were not overexposed, the film was influential in creating the young Dylan’s public persona. The film was not released until 1967. By that time, two major rock masterpieces, BLONDE ON BLONDE and HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED had been released. The Dylan performances seen in this film by then were slightly antique. But generations can be happy that Pennebaker and his specially modified 16mm Auricon camera were on hand to capture impressions of the late acoustic Bob Dylan. This film, perhaps more than any other, sowed the seeds of verite documentary filmmaking in the U.S. This original one sheet poster is rolled – never folded – and signed by master documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker. The poster, which dates from the original release is not the normal Donald Velde-distributed one sheet but rather was among a special printing of the poster for the very first New York City showings. A stellar Dylan collectible with a famous high contrast image lifted directly from one of the films’ frames is in near mint condition.

This film brought cinema-verite to a much wider audience and opened the path to the modern documentarist. The famous high contrast image of Dylan was actually created by Pennebaker from a frame of the film. Iconic. This poster is for the 1998 re-release. This original poster is folded and in near mint condition.
