Design & Features: Highly dynamic and colourful composition typical of late-60s Italian Western marketing — explosive orange and yellow background with Lee Van Cleef’s imposing figure front and centre, surrounded by gunfire, explosions, and piles of gold coins.

Collectors’ Note: This Australian daybill for Sabata is a standout example of Spaghetti Western poster art, featuring Lee Van Cleef in one of his most iconic antihero roles. The film launched the Sabata Trilogy, making this the cornerstone piece for collectors of Euro-Western cinema. Australian versions are rarer than U.S. one-sheets and especially prized for their vivid print quality and minimal text clutter. A visually striking, investment-worthy poster with strong crossover appeal among Western, cult, and Lee Van Cleef fans.
