Support Looks great. Very well-known poster. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 19:12, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alt 1 uploaded. There were some long fold marks that needed fixed. Support alt 1. Note the image may be a tiny bit overexposed, but I don't think it's particularly bad in this case. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 21:42, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support ALT1: Having uploaded a few featured posters myself, I'm aware of how hard it is to get good, free, non-JPG-artefacted posters. Though this is a bit more simple than most of our current featured stuff, it's still iconic and quite pleasing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Film posters make great FPs, and the fact this is such a significant film gives really adds to it. J Milburn (talk) 23:36, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1 However, I could have sworn this poster was red and not orange...is this certainly the original colour? Mattximus (talk) 03:27, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Not for voting'* - Some red ink is missing here, apparently showing yellow ink beneath it, hinting the poster should have a vermillion tint.

First of all, let me apologise for the horrible formatting here. I couldn't get the alignments right without doing it this way.

Anyway, red does tend to fade to vermillion, but the current colour is also one that was in use. Now, given people's tendency to correct colours without access to originals, I'm not surprised it varies a bit online, but I did notice some hints of yellow ink while doing the restoration (see sample, left), so I'm pretty sure the red was meant to be on the vermillion side, and shouldn't be corrected too far towards "true" red.

Support Alt 1 Google Image search offers a range of colors, from orange to red. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 11:36, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1 very good EV, and great quality! --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 18:55, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1 Just watched this movie for second time, awesome to see it here. Adam, why is "Restored by Adam Cuerden." in the image description when it already appears in author section? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 23:20, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I wanted to be clear it was a restoration, and distinguish the description from the old image's. You'll note it's followed by a brief description of the restoration. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:51, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
