September 19th
I wasn't planning on repeating a film quite so soon but after Mark's brilliant post about Jake LaMotta pitting olives I felt the need to dedicate a poster to him. So this is for Mark.
Now I'll admit that a number of the posters I'm choosing would not actually have worked at the time of the film's release as a piece of promotion. They work for those who have seen the film by paying reference to particular elements of the film in clever and entertaining ways. This is one such poster, alluding to the scene at the town hall where Quint is introduced by scratching his nails on the chalkboard. Just a very clever concept that blends the scratches and the iconic shark itself
Jaws
(1975, d. Steven Spielberg / Artist - Scott Woolston)
