Original Italian locandina (cinema poster) for Junior Bonner (1972), released in Italy as L’Ultimo Buscadero. This is a Prima Edizione Italiana (first Italian edition), dated Anno 1972, distributed by Dear International. The film was directed by Sam Peckinpah and stars Steve McQueen as a fading rodeo champion, alongside Robert Preston, Ida Lupino, Joe Don Baker, Barbara Leigh, and Ben Johnson (noted as Premio Oscar). Produced by Joe Wizan and Booth Gardner for ABC Pictures Corp. in association with Solar Productions, with music by Jerry Fielding and screenplay by Jeb Rosebrook. The poster features a striking hand-painted illustration of McQueen’s character in cowboy attire — white shirt, jeans, spurs, and a green hat — carrying a saddle, rendered in a classic Italian poster art style. The Italian tagline reads ‘Quelli della sua razza vanno scomparendo’ (‘His kind are disappearing’). Printed in Technicolor by Sercolor, Roma. A highly collectible piece for fans of Steve McQueen, Sam Peckinpah, and vintage Italian cinema ephemera. The locandina format (approximately 13×27 inches) is a distinctly Italian poster size sought after by collectors worldwide.
A horizontal fold line is visible across the mid-section of the poster, consistent with original storage folding. No visible tears, pinholes, foxing, or tape residue apparent from the provided photos. Overall colour appears bright and well-preserved.
