Original 1978 Polish 26 inch x 38 inch Poster for the 1977 Tony Richardson Comedy JOSEPH ANDREWS, based on the novel by Henry Fielding and starring Ann-Margret, Peter Firth, Michael Hordern, Beryl Reid, Jim Dale, Peter Bull, Kenneth Cranham, Karen Dotrice, James Villiers, Norman Rossington, Patsy Rowlands, Murray Melvin, Ronald Pickup, Penelope Wilton, Peggy Ashcroft, Pauline Jameson, Timothy West, Wendy Craig, John Gielgud, Hugh Griffith, Jenny Runacre, Vernon Dobtcheff, Steven Berkoff, Willoughby Goddard, Nigel Hawthorne, Tim Pigott-Smith, Sandra Dorne, Timothy Bateson, Michael Balfour, Alfred Lynch and Bernard Bresslaw.

With its rollicking comic plot, period costume and setting, ribald adventures and a dashing young hero, the film was an obvious attempt to follow in the line of such films as Tom Jones, which was also directed by Tony Richardson.

Poster art by Eryk Lipinski (1908 – 1991). Eryk Lipinski was a Polish artist, satirist, caricaturist, essayist, he has designed posters, written plays and sketches for cabarets, as well as written books on related subjects.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
