I’ve been hunting to get an original of this classic image of cinema history for years now. Today it finally arrived in the mail! I’m so proud to finally be able to add this collection and to be able to provide it to all you cinephiles out there! Enjoy, Gene Hackman in a moment so beautiful that audiences to this day still stand up and cheer its utter brilliance and breathless display of cinema magic!

I should also note that I did attend the legendary Alamo Drafthouse Downtown screening of this film years ago that boasted an amazing Q&A with filmmaker William Friedkin.
