This is the type of iconic image of Franco Nero and Enzo G. Castellari’s, High Crime (La polizia incrimina la legge assolve) that I expect to find just as common in poster shops and cult places around the world and populating the homes of film lovers world wide. How this image is not more common I have no idea but glad to offer it up here in all its glory and restored. I can think of few better images of Franco Nero and this incredibly rare one from a Japanese still of the film might just be the best!
 
Fans of Poliziottesco/Poliziotteschi cinema should keep a watch for Mike Malloy’s documentary that fully explores it inside and out called Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films that Ruled the ’70s (Facebook Fan Page).

Keybook stills are tough to come by and this rare one from featuring Jane Greer and Robert Mitchum from one of the all-time best film noirs and one of my own personal favorites is no exception!
 
Caption:
BMG-88 – CORNERED – Literally and pictorially, faithless Jane Greer finds herself confronted by Private Eye Robert Mitchum, in this tense scene from RKO Radio’s melodrama, “Out of the Past.”

I wouldn’t want there to be a year end celebration week without at least featuring one badass image of Isaac Hayes! So here is a rare restored still of him as Lee in, Three Tough Guys from one of my favorite directors Duccio Tessari.

Hotter than Bond, Cooler than Bullitt.

 

Cue “Theme from Shaft“, written and recorded by Isaac Hayes. As iconic as Shaft is with cinema and in particular 70’s cinema, I’m glad at last to post this rare restored still of John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) here. I hope that you enjoy this and are having a great week as we close out this decade and move into the 2010’s. Happy early New Years from Cinema is Dope!
