Apocalypse Now 1979 Promotional Movie Poster - National Screen Service (NSS

Description: Original 1979 Apocalypse Now Movie Poster - National Screen Service (790143) - Litho in USA 28x22" This is an authentic and rare Apocalypse Now movie poster from 1979, issued by the National Screen Service Corporation (NSS). Known for distributing and managing promotional materials for Hollywood films during the mid-20th century, the NSS played a vital role in the film industry. Their posters, identified by unique NSS numbers like 790143, were printed in limited quantities and rented to theaters for specific showings, often returned or discarded after use. Why This Poster Is Rare: Unlike modern posters, which are often mass-produced for retail and promotional purposes, NSS posters were strictly for theatrical use. The property markings ("Property of National Screen Service") emphasize their rental status, meaning theaters had to return them to the NSS, making surviving examples exceptionally rare. Many NSS posters were lost, destroyed, or altered over the years. Additionally, its uncommon to find these posters without heavy wear or modifications such as additional stamps or handwritten notes, making this particular piece a valuable collector's item despite its signs of age. Condition: The poster is in good overall condition, especially considering its age and historical use. There is a crease in the right corner and minor wear consistent with its vintage nature. However, the vivid lithographic print and original design remain in excellent displayable condition. Key Features: Authentic NSS-issued poster with property markings and the 790143 NSS number. Marked "Litho in USA," signifying its original printing process. Rare surviving example of Apocalypse Now promotional material distributed for theaters only. This is more than just a poster; its a piece of film history from Francis Ford Coppolas groundbreaking masterpiece. Dont miss this opportunity to own a truly unique collectible from the golden age of cinema. Ships rolled in a protective tube for preservation and safe delivery.
