SLAP SHOT (1977) 16271

Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the George Roy Hill hockey drama, SLAP SHOT (1977) starring Paul Newman, Strother Martin, Michael Ontkean, and Jennifer Warren. After the success of THE STING (1973), Paul Newman wanted to do another film with George Roy Hill. That film turned out to be SLAP SHOT, one of the best sports-related films of the late seventies. The film concerns a down on their luck scrappy hockey team facing the travails of aging players, volatile relationships, sagging economics, competition and the endless rigors of touring. From this soup comes one of the funniest, most foul-mouthed, and liveliest films of Newman's career. Add a dash of vintage seventies music and mix with some good sex and a lot of the famed Newman charm and you have SLAP SHOT. With artwork by Arno, this original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.
