Has Anyone Ever Seen This "Hustler" Poster Before?

[Secaucus Fats]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was made for the 1964 re-release of the movie. The graphics are similar to another one which I know was made for the '64 re-release (see below):

Very cool!

I have a screen shot from the movie signed by Paul, but I have no other Hustler memorabilia.

I'd love to have even a more common poster from the movie if someone has one they were willing to part with... So post here or PM me if you have one please!

Thanks!

How did you get him to sign it? I was in the movie "Harry & Son" with Paul Newman and he would not sign any autographs, not even if you asked.

That's what is strange about this poster. It has a top that is similiar to the first poster from 1961, the middle has a lot of the same images and design style as the poster you show and their 1964 Exhibitors Manual (http://www.newdeco.com/billiard_movie_items4.htm), and the bottom is like the big six sheet poster from the original in '61. The link referenced has most of the styles of Hustler posters that were made, whether reproduction or original.

Thanks for your post, and to all the others that have offered ideas. I would still like to see pictures of another poster like this one if anyone has one!

I bought it that way from one of those autograph selling places. It is not "to" me; just his signature on a photo from the movie.

I met him at Lime Rock Park once, but did not get an autograph then- different frame of mind at the time... He was just one of the drivers.

Pic is below for reference; however that is not my signed one.
