The Long Goodbye (1973)
A superb and highly collectible original first release style C 1973 US One Sheet for Robert Altman’s cult neo-noir masterpiece THE LONG GOODBYE, featuring wonderfully offbeat artwork by legendary illustrator Jack Davis. Best known for his MAD Magazine caricatures and kinetic comic style, Davis brought a uniquely playful energy to this poster, perfectly capturing the film’s eccentric, sun-drenched vision of 1970s Los Angeles.
Elliott Gould stars as Raymond Chandler’s iconic private detective Philip Marlowe, reimagined by Altman as a bewildered outsider drifting through a morally exhausted counterculture America. Upon release, the film divided audiences expecting a traditional noir thriller, but it has since become recognised as one of the defining revisionist detective films of the 1970s and a major influence on modern neo-noir cinema.
The poster itself has become especially sought-after among collectors due to its unusual comic-book artwork and strikingly different approach from the darker, more conventional noir advertising of the era. A fantastic piece for admirers of Altman, Chandler, 1970s American cinema, and the unmistakable artistry of Jack Davis.
