The Gauntlet, the 1977 Clint Eastwood police-corruption crime action thriller ("Clint Eastwood is the man in the middle of 'The Gauntlet'"; "Written by Michael Butler and Dennis Shryack"; about a cop who must bring a witness in against much opposition) starring Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle, William Prince, Bill McKinney, and Michael Cavanaugh
Important Added Info: Note that there were several different printings of this poster, with slightly different arrangements of the credits, and with Sondra Locke's credit being drastically different in size on some of them. A knowledgeable collector tells us that initially Sondra Locke had smaller billing, but "When she saw it, she was irate and insisted that she get equal billing". I do not know if this is true, but it certainly makes sense. So it is likely that the small Sondra Locke credit is from the very first version of the poster and the larger credit is from the second version of the poster, but of course I cannot verify that as being a certainty. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
Overall Condition: good to very good.
