Vintage one sheet poster for the 1968 film. An overlooked and important film, one of the first to deal with contemporary Black revolutionaries who rose in the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Today considered a work that seeded the explosion of Blaxploitation films in the late 1960s and into the 1970s. The story's events surround the death of Martin Luther King, framed as a remake of "The Informer" (John Ford, 1935), in turn based on the 1925 proletarian novel by Liam O'Flaherty. Shot on location in Cleveland, the first US film for noted director Jules Dassin (who had left the US at the height of the McCarthy hearings) in nearly two decades. 26.75 x 41 inches. Folded as issued. Very Good plus. with starting at the center folds. Grant US. Olive Films 425.
