Condition: Very Good.

Never folded!

Size: 76 cm x 102 cm (30 in x 40 in) 

A guaranteed original U.S. '30 x 40' movie poster from 1971 for Lee H. Katzin's car racing thriller "Le Mans", also released as "The 24 Hours of Le Mans".

Featuring footage captured during the real-life 1970 race, Le Mans tells the fictional story of Porsche racing driver Michael Delaney (Steve McQueen). With death and danger seemingly all around, should he quit or go for a Porsche win at Le Mans?

The addictive nature of racing portrayed in the film mirrors life. McQueen was obsessed with creating a true racing film and its production took a significant toll on him and those around him. A 2015 documentary, Steve McQueen : The Man and Le Mans, tells this incredible story.

This superb movie poster is a rarer '30x40' format. These posters were printed on thicker card-like paper stock for use outside U.S. movie theaters and drive ins. Crucially, they are usually unfolded! 

The wonderful 'sketch like' artwork is by movie poster legend Tom Jung. As our photos show, it is in really wonderful condition. A true collectors' piece. 

By the way, Steve McQueen considered becoming a professional racing driver. In 1961 he drove a Mini at a British Touring Car race at Brands Hatch, finishing third!

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.
