Original Theatre Lobby Poster,  The Wild Racers
Offered in this lot is a Rare Original Theatre Lobby Movie Poster, "The Wild Racers", 1968. An American driver is paid by an auto tycoon to throw a race, but he rebels and works to become an internationally famous racer. This movie stars Fabian, an American singer and actor. Fabian rose to national prominence after performing several times on American Bandstand. He became a teen idol of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Eleven of his songs reached the Billboard Hot 100. The cast also includes a hitherto unknown Talia Shire, later to rise to starhood as Rocky Balboa's love interest in the 1976 movie, "Rocky". 40" x 60" posters are the rarest size of movie poster advertising, the cost to acquire one for your theater was as much as 20 times the amount as a standard movie poster. These 40" x 60" posters are printed in infinitely higher resolution than standard movie posters- by any measure, these are the ultimate vintage high quality, fine art print versions of any movie advertisement. Poster is identified at the bottom with a 1968 copyright from American International Pictures, "property of National Screen Service Corp.
