🖼️ Design & Features: Strong mid-century crime design with bold yellow and red colour blocking and stylised masked gunmen. Vintage pulp comic-style illustration of a car getaway at the bottom. Early role for Steve McQueen, increasing the appeal for collectors of Hollywood icons. Fantastic typography and visual tension make this a highly displayable piece.

Collectors’ Note: Collectors value this poster both for its visual appeal and as one of Steve McQueen’s earliest leading roles. Australian daybills for this title are less common than US half sheets, adding to its desirability.
