Smile

Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1975. Vintage one sheet poster for the 1975 film, with the original PG rating blanked at the bottom left. Not to be confused with 2002 horror film directed by Parker Finn.

The third and final film of Michael Ritchie's "American Dream Trilogy," following his 1969 film "Downhill Racer," and his 1972 film "The Candidate." A shrewd and brutal satire wherein used car dealer Big Bob Freelander (Bruce Dern) and frustrated housewife Brenda DiCarlo (Barbara Feldon) are in charge of putting on the Santa Rosa Jaycees Young American Miss beauty contest. A savage satire with a brilliant performance from Dern, which, though generally favorably reviewed upon release, was a box-office bomb, and has subsequently become a cult classic.

Set in and shot on location in Santa Rosa, California.

27 x 41 inches. Folded as issued. Very Good plus.
