The Gravy Train (1974) poster is a wonderfully exuberant piece of mid-1970s American movie advertising. Directed by Jack Starrett and produced by Jonathan T. Taplin for Columbia Pictures, the film starred Stacy Keach and Frederic Forrest as small-time outlaws on a crime spree, with Margot Kidder in a supporting role. The poster's illustrated design — featuring the two leads armed and grinning beside a battered car, framed by a giant US dollar bill motif — perfectly captures the film's irreverent, anti-establishment humour. The tagline promising "looting, pilfering, plundering, robbing, and generally having the time of their lives" is pure New Hollywood bravado.

Today, 1970s New Hollywood crime comedy movie posters are popular collector's items among fans of American 1970s cinema. This reproduction is perfect for collectors of Stacy Keach film memorabilia, Columbia Pictures 1970s movie posters, Frederic Forrest vintage film art, or classic 1970s American crime comedy posters for sale. It makes a great display piece for home cinemas, bars, and fans of New Hollywood outlaw cinema.

Printed with a glossy finish on durable 200 GSM paper, this reproduction captures the bold illustrative style of authentic 1970s Columbia Pictures film poster art. The Gravy Train was written by Bill Kerby and David Whitney with music by Fred Karlin, and is now regarded as a minor cult entry in the New Hollywood crime comedy genre of the early 1970s.
