Original U.S. six sheet poster for the Steven Spielberg science fiction classic, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977) starring Richard Dreyfuss, Francois Truffaut, Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, Bob Balaban and Lance Henriksen. A close encounter of the third kind is an actual meeting with an animated alien being associated with a UFO; not just a sighting or a physical effect from contact with the spacecraft. In Spielberg’s classic film, several ordinary Americans find themselves drawn to a remote part of the American plains where they will literally find themselves in the presence of extraordinary beings from another world. This six sheet for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS is one of the few six sheet posters for a Spielberg film. By the end of the seventies the studios had almost quit making these six sheet format posters. Printed on two panels. Condition is very fine, but folded. Ask us about linen backing and poster conservation in general.
