Taxi Driver movie posters from Scorsese's 1976 psychological thriller rank among the most influential items in 1970s cinema collecting, featuring original theatrical material from this cultural landmark. Robert De Niro's Travis Bickle is among the most studied characters in film history, and the theatrical campaign that introduced him to audiences is correspondingly significant for collectors.
Columbia Pictures' US campaign deployed a close-in photograph of De Niro in mohawk and army jacket, the film's tagline — 'On every street in every city, there's a nobody who dreams of being a somebody' — across the base. The design is deliberately unglamorous: this is not the promotional language of mainstream Hollywood but of something harder and more morally uncertain. Advance one-sheets use slightly different photography. International materials carry the campaign with varying emphases: French grandes affiches privilege the Scorsese name, aligning the film with European art cinema rather than American exploitation; Italian foglio prints deploy operatic intensity; British quads lean into the urban-nightmare imagery. Japanese B2s, produced for the film's significant Tokyo theatrical run, carry their own distinct visual treatment.
Available in US one-sheets, French grandes affiches, Italian foglio, British quads, Japanese B2s, and lobby card sets. Condition runs Fine to Very Fine. Original US one-sheets from the 1976 Columbia release are now scarce and seldom encountered in fine flat condition.
