Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) Folded Art by Robert Kastel Steven Spielberg

Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Steven Spielberg epic shark thriller, JAWS (1975) starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss. This film was a box office phenomenon, grossing more than half a billion dollars and becoming the highest grossing movie until STAR WARS took the lead two years later. The movie established Spielberg as a filmmaker of first rank and helped the careers of all the major actors. The mechanical shark cost more that a quarter million dollars to create and can be seen today on Universal's studio tour. The poster art by Robert Kastel is sensational,now very famous, and was used by Universal in a carefully planned advertising campaign to attract huge audiences by the time the movie opened. This poster was used in a theater and it has survived the decades well. There are some signs of aging, including one small discoloration near Robert Shaw's credit. We are happy to sell the poster as is or to talk with you about restoration, if desired. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees this poster to be authentic.
