Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1972. Vintage oversize borderless double weight black and white photograph from the 1972 film. An amazing image, showing Max von Sydow looming above-and seemingly beyond-a very possessed young Linda Blair.
One of the great genre films of the 1970s that accomplished the uncommon feat of being an over-the-top sensation upon its release and gaining subsequent status as a classic, with a strangeness and depth supplied by Burstyn and Sydow that only increases with repeated viewings. Another distinction of "The Exorcist" was that it walked away with 2 Oscars (including Best Screenplay for Blatty), along with 8 nominations (including Best Picture), a feat nearly unheard for a horror film.
11 x 14 inches. Near Fine. (Inventory #: 135017)
