CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH, THE (1978) 1939

Original New Yorker Films One Sheet Poster (27x41). Folded. Very Fine Condition.

Original New Yorker Films One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Fred Schepisi stark social drama, THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH (1978) starring Tommy Lewis, Freddy Reynolds, Ray Barrett, and Jack Thompson. Produced during the Australian film renaissance of the 1970s, this is a true story of a part aboriginal man who cannot successfully adapt to white culture and eventually turns to horrific violence after he suffers one humiliation after another by white settlers in 19th Century Australia. The film poignantly asks the question is it morally justified to use violence against a corrupt, racist, violent system in which there is no lawful means to receive justice? This one sheet poster was originally folded and is in very fine condition. NOTE: This photo shows some magnets which were used to hold up the corners of the poster. These should not be mistaken for torn corners. The poster is whole and complete and in very fine condition.
