Original Paramount Pictures Presskit (9 x 11.5). Very fine condition.
Original Paramount Pictures Presskit (9 x 11.5) for the Robert Aldrich sports comedy THE LONGEST YARD (1974) staring Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert, and Ed Lauter. Reynolds delivers perhaps his best performance as the ex-NFL quarterback who gets sent to prison and there organizes a football team made up of the inmates to play against a team of the guards. The "big game" turns out to be one of the most hilarious sporting events ever seen on film. The film was remade in 2005 with Reynolds now playing the part of the coach. This original Presskit has no press releases or production notes but does have 24 original studio B&W stills with their descriptors in very fine condition.
