The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards—including Best Picture and Best Screenplay based on Lynn’s autobiography of the same title. Sissy Spacek deservedly won the Oscar for Best Actress for her unforgettable performance of this country music icon.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Sergio Leone western masterpiece, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968) starring Henry Fonda, Claudi Cardinale, Jason Robards, and Charles Bronson. This film tells the story of a young woman, Jill McBain (Cardinale), who moves from New Orleans to frontier Utah—only to find her husband and family have been slaughtered. A man names Cheyenne (Robards), a suspect in the murder, befriends her and offers to hunt down the real killer. Director Leone redefined the western with lots more feelings and emotions. He transformed the romantic notion of the West as an exiting and generally nice place to be with an honest portrayal of the sheer harshness of western life. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition—with some fold distress and small creases, a few minor dings, and a small fold separation at the fold intersection.

The Broadway production opened at the Imperial Theater in New York in September of 1964 and ran for 3,242 performances, setting a record for the longest running show at that time. Director Jewison wanted the whole film shot in an “earthy” tone. So cinematographer Oswald Morris shot most of the film with a woman’s brown stocking over the lens. Morris won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, and the film received two other Oscars for Best Editing and Best Original Score to John Williams. This original re-release one sheet poster is in very fine plus condition.
