The Enforcer Rare Advertisements from Trade Papers

The Enforcer Rare Advertisements from Trade Papers

Here are a couple of extremely rare advertisements for the forthcoming release, The Enforcer (1976). I can’t be 100% sure, but I think these probably materialised from one of the trade papers and probably date from November / December 1976. Whilst the artwork was the same used across the board – the text indicates that these are early examples. Warners really pushed the advertising for this, the third Dirty Harry movie in the series. Both of these ads came from the same publication, devoting a full 2 page spread and, on the reverse, a full single page featuring the one sheet design. The double page spread features the Half sheet ‘windscreen’ design which was also used for the British Quad design. For me, this is still the winner from The Enforcer designs. 

I had to do a bit of restoration work to these scans (particularly the double page spread) as the original pages were just ripped from the publication – they’re not bad and you get the general idea; they needed to be saved regardless. My kind thanks to Davy Triumph for finding these.
