Bootleggers (1974) is a Howco International Pictures release produced and directed by Charles B. Pierce, written by Earl E. Smith, with music by Jaime Mendoza-Nava and executive producers L.W. Ledwell and Charles B. Pierce, filmed in Todd-A-O Color. Starring Paul Koslo and Dennis Fimple, introducing Jaclyn Smith, and featuring Slim Pickens as Grandpa Pruitt, the film was a regional action crime drama set in the world of Prohibition-era rural bootlegging. The bold graphic poster — dominated by a dramatic hilltop silhouette of armed men beside a vintage automobile against a sepia sky — is a compelling example of early 1970s American regional film poster minimalism.

This reproduction is of interest to fans of Jaclyn Smith early career film posters, Slim Pickens film memorabilia, Charles B. Pierce directorial art, or classic 1970s American regional crime film posters for sale. It makes a dramatic and atmospheric display piece for lovers of 1970s American drive-in and regional cinema.

Printed with a glossy finish on durable 200 GSM paper, this reproduction captures the stark graphic power of authentic early 1970s American regional Howco International Pictures film promotional poster art. Charles B. Pierce was one of the most distinctive figures of 1970s American regional cinema, a self-taught filmmaker from Arkansas whose low-budget regional productions — most notably The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972) — achieved remarkable commercial success.
