The Honeymoon Killers (1970) laminated Aussie mini



THE HONEYMOON KILLERS (1970) LAMINATED Australian poster

An unusual Aussie cinema poster for Leonard Kastle's macabre modern-noir classic! With Shirley Stoler, Tony LoBianco.

Synopsis (from IMDB): Based on the true story of Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, who met through a lonely-hearts correspondence club. Ray is weedy, feral, and untrustworthy; Martha is enormous, compulsive, and needy. Together, they play out a horrifying scheme in which he lures lonely women out on dates and proposes marriage to them, with her pretending to be his sister. They take the women's savings and then murder them remorselessly. Dank, claustrophobic, and weirdly engrossing, this movie never quite gives in to the comforts of conventional narrative. Francois Truffaut named it as his favorite American film.

LAMINATED black-and-red Australian poster, an unusual size - like a half-sized one sheet (61.5cm x 42.7cm) - from the film's Australian cinema re-release in the early 90s, after being banned in Australian since the early Seventies.

CONDITION: The poster itself in great shape; the laminate has some creases across the centre and marks here and there but is otherwise in good condition.
