"It's the Big One With the Big Two! El Dorado" Vintage Movie Poster, 1966
Presented is an original movie poster for El Dorado. El Dorado is a 1966 Paramount movie directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Loosely based on the 1960 novel The Stars in Their Courses by Harry Brown, the Western film is about a hired gun and sheriff who team up to defend a struggling rancher and his family against a greedy land baron. The movie was first released in Japan on December 17, 1966, followed by a United States release on June 7, 1967.
The film was a commercial success, generating North American rentals of $5,950,000 on box-office receipts of $12 million. Reception to the movie was warm, with New York Times critic Howard Thompson claiming that the movie was "tough, laconic and amusing Western, " and "crisp entertainment" thanks to its "barbed, pungent and frequently funny dialogue" and "murderous gun forays."
The poster celebrates the two superstars, Wayne and Mitchum, boasting “It’s The Big One With The Big Two!” in bold red letters. The bottom of the poster includes a composite of several illustrations of the characters, in gun-fights, fist-fights, and together on horseback.
