The French Connection (1971) Poster, US, Signed by William Friedkin (director)


Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm)


Mr. Sohal met William Friedkin at the BFI In London when he was promoting his film Killer Joe.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This film directed by William Friedkin is a true 1970s classic. Gene Hackman's portrayal of the detective 'Popeye' Doyle is legendary and won him the Oscar for Best Actor. The film also won an Oscar for Best Film and Friedkin won Best Director.
