Rare Good, Bad and the Ugly poster (kinda(
Here’s a little something you won’t see every day. Yes, despite the use of varied artwork elements, this is actually a poster for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. If it looks a little unusual, that’s because it is a Trinidadian Poster (27" X 42").
I think this is the first time we have ever featured a poster from Trinidad here on the Archive. It’s an unrestored poster with bright colour and a clean overall appearance. Despite that of course there are some glaringly obvious errors in the design. In fact, Eli Wallach’s Tuco is the only actual image from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Lee Van Cleef image is in fact taken from The Big Gundown (1967) and the shot of Clint is actually from High Plains Drifter (1973)! This hints naturally that this particular poster comes from a 70’s release (at the earliest).
Anyway, a rare treat. Thank you to Davy Triumph for finding this one.
