MARATHON MAN (1976) 31769 Portrait Lobby Card Very Good Plus Autographed

Original U.S. Lobby Card (11x14) Autographed Laurence Olivier

Paramount PIctures Original U.S. Portrait Lobby Card of Laurence Olivier for the film MARATHON MAN (1976). The film was directed by John Schlesinger and stars Olivier, Dustin Hoffman, William Devane, Roy Scheider, Marthe Keller and Richard Bright. The movie was very successful and enjoyed a very high level of talent in executing the story. The screenplay was written by William Goldman, based upon his own novel, and he was reputedly paid over $2.5 million to write it. Olivier plays an ex-nazi in hiding and Hoffman plays a young law student who gets caught in a tangled web of theft and murder. The movie was very successful, and helped propel John Schlesinger back into the limelight as a superstar director of the moment. Laurence Olivier won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor. Although, in truth, his role in the movie is as important as Hoffman's. Such is the capriciousness of award nominations. This card is autographed by Laurence Olivier. We purchased a collection of signed lobby cards from the estate of a gentleman who worked in film distribution. As this man met actors along the paths of their careers, he asked for signatures. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that these cards are authentic and we have high degree of confidence in the legitimacy of the signatures.
