Charley Varrick (1973) - U.S. One-Sheet

This is an original U.S. one-sheet movie poster (27" x 41") for Charley Varrick (1973)—a gritty, no-nonsense crime thriller directed by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry) and starring Walter Matthau in a rare, hard-edged role.

The design hits with pure 70s attitude: bold red lettering screaming “KILL CHARLEY VARRICK!”, layered over stark, high-contrast imagery. A crop-duster plane, violent crash visuals, and tense character closeups create a raw, kinetic composition that perfectly captures the film’s intensity.

This is the kind of piece that doesn’t just hang on a wall—it punches through it.
