Collectors’ Note: This Australian daybill captures the raw essence of the 1970s revenge Western revival. The Last Hard Men is notable for pairing two screen legends—Charlton Heston and James Coburn—in one of the final traditional “grit and gun” Westerns before the genre gave way to modern interpretations. Australian posters for this title are highly collectible due to their distinct two-colour print design and limited local print run.
