This is an original, recalled, linen-backed, one-sheet movie poster from 1978 for Up in Smoke starring Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Tom Skerritt, Edie Adams, Strother Martin, and Stacy Keach. Lou Adler directed the classic comedy. Charles White III is the artist for the poster.
The poster was sent to movie theaters but soon recalled by Paramount as there was criticism that the tagline "Don't go straight to see this movie" was encouraging drug use. New posters were printed with a different tagline.
The poster measures 27" x 41" and has been linen-backed for long-term preservation and display. The poster was in very good condition prior to restoration with minor edge and fold wear. It was folded after printing but the folds are much less noticeable after backing. Linen-backed posters are stored flat and rolled for shipping in a rigid, tube mailer.
Please look closely at the photos (this is the exact poster you are buying). It is not cropped or a stock image.
This very rare and collectible poster, printed in 1978 to promote the theatrical release of Up in Smoke, is not a reprint or reproduction.
