Collection: John Cassavetes

Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of original John Cassavetes vintage movie posters from his critically acclaimed catalog of timeless cinematic creations.

Greek-American actor John Nicholas Cassavetes (December 9, 1929 - February 3, 1989) was also a famous film director and screenwriter who pioneered and often financed his American independent films. His first role was as Robert Batsford, with Vince Edwards and David Cross, in The Night Holds Terror (1955) and later won a lead role in Edge of the City (1957) as drifter Axel Nordmann, with co-star Sidney Poitier, which led to his becoming a contract player for MGM.

John directed his first film Shadows (1958) which won the Critics Award at the Venice Film Festival. He later made his comeback film Faces (1968), which depicts a single night in the life of a middle-aged married couple; the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Cassavetes directed his piece "Gloria" (1980), which tells about a former gangster Gloria Swenson who was targeted by the police as a kidnapping suspect. The film won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival, and protagonist Gena Rowlands was nominated for several acting awards. He also directed the unconventional drama Love Streams (1984), about two middle-aged siblings’ relationship and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Cassavetes died at the age of 59 from cirrhosis of the liver caused by many years of alcoholism. He left more than 40 unproduced screenplays and an unpublished novel, whom his son Nick Cassavetes eventually used to direct in a film, She's So Lovely (1997), released eight years after his death.
