BETSY

Original U.S. 22 inch x 28 inch Half Sheet Poster for the 1978 Daniel Petrie Drama THE BETSY, based on the novel by Harold Robbins and starring Laurence Olivier, Robert Duvall, Katharine Ross, Tommy Lee Jones, Jane Alexander, Lesley-Anne Down, Joseph Wiseman, Edward Herrmann, Paul Rudd and Kathleen Beller.

This is the story of a Detroit automobile manufacturer (Olivier) who pins his future on The Betsy, a “wonder car” named after his daughter (Kathleen Beller). The Betsy is designed to last practically forever, which doesn’t rest well with the “planned obsolescence” mindset of the auto industry. Flashbacks cover his career from his 40s to the present, when he is in his 90s.

The poster is in very good unfolded (rolled) condition with a vertical crease and a nick in the right edge.
