Pit stop - Original Movie Poster

Original Movie Poster - Pit stop

Grant Willard (Brian Donlevy) sponsors drivers in a "new" form of race car driving called The Figure Eight. The black and white photography is excellent, there is a long, almost dreamlike sequence of dragster cars making artful figures in the sand dunes. The soundtrack is fantastic and a good early example of heavy rock music. This is an artful portrait of American provincial youth just before the hippy movement started. This poster is from the film's first release. N.B. this is a rare unfolded example.
