A STAR IS BORN (1976)
Original UK Quad Printer’s Proof Poster
Rare Un-cropped Production Proof Featuring Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson
An exceptionally rare printer’s proof, rolled UK Quad for the 1976 musical drama classic A Star Is Born, starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
Unlike the standard cinema release version, this striking example is an un-cropped printer’s proof, preserving the full original print margins and production layout before final trimming — a superb piece of cinematic printing history and an incredibly desirable variant for serious collectors.
The sensual sepia-toned embrace image, paired with the blazing orange gradient background and bold retro title design, perfectly captures the glamorous, emotionally charged style of late-70s Hollywood.
