CHEAP DETECTIVE

£99.50

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1978 Robert Moore Comedy Detective Thriller THE CHEAP DETECTIVE starring Peter Falk, Ann-Margret, Sid Caesar, John Houseman, Eileen Brennan, Stockard Channing, James Coco, Dom DeLuise, Louise Fletcher, John Houseman and Madeline Kahn.

Spoofing the entire 1940s detective genre, and his own performances as a bumbling private detective, Peter Falk plays Lou Pekinpaugh, a San Francisco private detective accused of murdering his partner at the instigation of his mistress, the partner’s wife, Georgia Merkle.

Poster art by Robert Tanenbaum. Tanenbaum was born in 1936 and is still a working painter and portraitist today in his 80s. He attended Washington University in St Louis. After army service he worked as an illustrator for four years. His work as a movie poster illustrator was in high demand from the early 1970s through the late 1980s.

The poster is in very good folded condition. There are two faint extra vertical folds.
