This musical was directed by Alan Parker, with animated elements by Gerald Scarfe. it is based on the 1979 Pink Floyd album The Wall. The film stars Bob Geldof, Christine Hargreaves and James Laurenson.

Can the bricks in the wall be dismantled to end Pink's isolation? This poster was signed by Alan Parker at the BFI, London, at a retrospective of his films. It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves.
