This size poster was used in cinema foyers. It was printed on a thicker paper stock. Far fewer of these were printed compared to the standard US poster. The artwork on this piece is unique to this size.

This film was produced and directed by Don Siegel, and was the first in the Dirty Harry series. Clint Eastwood plays the title role, in his first outing as San Francisco Police Department Inspector 'Dirty' Harry Callahan.
