Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the classic 1960's western drama, WELCOME TO HARD TIMES, released in 1967 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by Burt Kennedy. A sociopathic stranger all but destroys a small hardscrabble town in Arizona named "Hard Times," but the 'mayor' (Henry Fonda) convinces its survivors to stay and rebuild.
The great western artwork is dominated by a large image of Henry Fonda at the top that is rendered next to an image of the "sociopathic stranger" on horseback, whose face is in shadow, as he looks over his shoulder at the devastation he has caused the town by his flaming torch. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in very fine- condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. The color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
