Description
Original one-sheet poster for the 1976 United Artists film “Gator,” starring and directed by Burt Reynolds. The artwork shows Reynolds in a teal shirt standing behind a bikini-clad Lauren Hutton, with a swamp-set action collage below featuring an airboat, helicopter, shotgun-wielding figure, and explosion, all rendered in the bold illustrative style typical of 1970s action-film advertising. The bold tagline “GATOR. Come and get him.” runs across the top in green and black lettering, with the title treatment and full cast and crew credits printed along the lower portion of the sheet.
Credits list Jack Weston, Lauren Hutton, and Jerry Reed as Bama McCall, with William Norton credited as writer and Charles Bernstein for the score; the poster notes Levy-Gardner-Laven as presenter and United Artists, A Transamerica Company, as distributor. The sheet carries a National Screen Service Corporation notice, a “LITHO. IN U.S.A.” stamp, a GAU printer’s mark, and the exhibitor number “76/109” in the lower corner, along with a 1976 United Artists Corporation copyright line. Standard one-sheet dimensions and folded format are consistent with theatrical distribution stock of the period.
The poster shows the expected horizontal and vertical fold lines from original theatrical distribution, along with small pinholes at the corners from prior mounting or display. The paper stock remains bright with strong, well-registered color throughout the artwork and lettering, and no tears, tape repairs, or significant staining are visible.
