Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the popular 1970's disaster-wedding themed comedy, A WEDDING, released in 1978 by 20th Century-Fox and directed by Robert Altman. The daughter of a Louisville truck driver marries the scion of a very wealthy family, but the reception at the family estate is boycotted by the invited guests. The cast includes Design Arnaz Jr., Carol Burnett, Geraldine Chaplin, Howard Duff, Mia Farrow, Vittorio Gassman, Lillian Gish, Lauren Hutton, Viveca Lindfors, Pat McCormick, Dina Merrill, and Nina Van Pallandt.

This one-sheet boasts beautiful artwork designed by R. Hess (whose signature appears near the bottom right corner) and depicts three cherubs representing the three wise monkeys, the famous Japanese pictorial maxim embodying the proverbial principle "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in fine+ condition a somewhat additional extra foldline (not fully folded) which appears on either side of the center vertical foldline (it is very light) with a very light. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws.

 

Director Robert Altman admits that the whole production of the film came as a joke. A reporter had kept asking him during the middle of shooting 3 Women (1977) what he planned to do next and Altman jokingly replied that he was going to film someone's wedding, seeing as that was becoming a more common thing to do at the time. Altman said: "I'm going to make a movie about a great big fancy wedding!" As Altman reflected on it, he decided it was actually quite a good idea, as he had never been to a wedding where something didn't go wrong. Altman's off-hand idea manifested itself in a drinking session with his 3 Women crew that evening after the meeting with the journalist. Within a couple of weeks, Altman had commissioned screenwriter John Considine to start developing a story and a guest list.
