Original Dustin Hoffman Movie Posters

Dustin Hoffman movie posters mark the arrival of a new kind of Hollywood star — authentic original prints from the career of the actor who replaced the all-American leading man with something more neurotic, more physical, more humanly complicated. Hoffman's filmography spans comedy, social drama, and the anti-hero cinema that defined the late 1960s and 1970s transition in American film. The Graduate (1967) announced this shift with one of the most recognizable campaigns in American cinema: Anne Bancroft's stocking-framed leg, the bewildered Hoffman behind it, and the tagline that made the Oedipal subtext entirely explicit. Find original Graduate one-sheets in good condition and you're looking at one of the most graphically innovative campaigns of its decade — a poster that told you exactly what kind of film you were dealing with and dared you to be uncomfortable about it. Midnight Cowboy (1969) — John Schlesinger's X-rated drama with Jon Voight — produced a campaign that had to navigate the film's MPAA controversy while communicating its genuine emotional power. Straw Dogs (1971) and Papillon (1973) represent his action-thriller turn, while Tootsie (1982) with his cross-dressing comedy role generated one of the most cheerfully subversive one-sheets of the 1980s. Original first-release one-sheets in fine flat condition are now genuinely scarce. Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and Rain Man (1988) — his two Oscar-winning dramatic performances — produced prestige campaigns of the restrained photographic style that characterized serious American drama advertising of those decades.
