The smaller counter-standee posters for this 1966 surfing classic have been seen in the last several years, but the full one sheet size is now definitely scarce. Wonderful day-glo ink art by John Van Hamersveld. THE ENDLESS SUMMER began its trek to feature film status as a series of homemade but rather excellently filmed surfing travelogues, presented in high school and civic auditoria throughout California, created by the inveterate surfer Bruce Brown. These individual films were fashioned into a 95 minute theatrical film released by Cinema V. In this movie the surfers Michael Hynson and Robert August criss-crossed the world in search of the most seductive wave they could find. Engaging homespun narration, laced with the sixties most bitchin’ surfing lingo and guitar, and spot-on colorful (16mm!) cinematography attracted audiences all over the world. The film has been often imitated – it spawned its own sequel, THE ENDLESS SUMMER 2 (1994) and most recently the hi-def technically dazzling STEP INTO LIQUID (2003). And the Australians made a bunch of surfing features of their own. Ask about our collection of those! But for sheer charm, nothing can top THE ENDLESS SUMMER. Very fine plus, folded.
