Lot description

ROCKY (1976) - David Frangioni Collection: US One-Sheet - Drive-In Style, 1976 "Apollo, The Champ vs. The Italian Stallion". Sylvester Stallone became an overnight sensation and was nominated for two Oscars (Best Actor and Best Screenplay) for portraying Southpaw underdog Rocky Balboa. This is an example of a US One-Sheet which rarely comes to market and was created for drive-in movie theatres during the film's first release. It features uncut borders with printer alignment marks still present. The black-and-white imagery of Stallone and Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) punching in the ring is unique to this poster and does not feature on any other One-Sheets. This is the first time Propstore has offered this "knockout" poster. Provenance: David Frangioni is a published author, music businessman, producer, technologist, engineer, philanthropist, and drummer. He has worked with Aerosmith, Shakira, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Robbie Williams, and hundreds more. He is CEO of Modern Drummer Magazine and has several books published, including Clint Eastwood: Icon: The Essential Film Art Collection and Crash: The World's Greatest Drum Kits, both by Insight Editions. Frangioni is considered one of the world's most prominent and knowledgeable collectors of Clint Eastwood memorabilia and boasts an enviable archive of movie posters and memorabilia. 28" x 41" (71 x 104 cm) Very Fine Folded with light handling and fold line wear. Artist: Unknown Artist GBP5000 - 10000 VAT Status: Ω
