Collectors’ Note: Bad Company has gained cult recognition as an early starring role for Jeff Bridges and as a revisionist Western with an anti-heroic tone. Australian daybills for this title are relatively uncommon, especially in clean condition due to the pale printing stock which easily shows wear. A desirable piece for collectors of early Bridges films and 1970s Americana Western cinema. Values have been trending upward with renewed interest in 1970s Western subgenres.
