Original Polish Poster (26×28) for the Alan J. Pakula Western drama, COMES A HORSEMAN (1978) starring Jane Fonda, James Caan, Jason Robards, Mark Harmon, James Keach, George Grizzard and Richard Farnsworth. Stylistically more drama than Western, Jane Fonda appears as cattle rancher in dire straits finding love with rugged James Caan while fighting the bad guys who covet her property. Beautifully shot by Gordon Willis (of THE GODFATHER SAGA and MANHATTAN fame), this modern Western (the late 1940s) really aimed high artistically as a powerful tale of ranchers in conflict with the contemporary world and the battles they fight for survival. The poster design takes on the look of a horseman with a rainbow appearing from his eye — perhaps imaging a brighter future? Art on this poster is by Lech Majewsky.
