Collectors’ Note: Little Big Man remains a cult classic for its blend of Western revisionism and dark humour, featuring one of Dustin Hoffman’s most transformative performances. This Australian daybill is an uncommon regional printing, distributed by B.E.F., differing from the full-colour U.S. one-sheet. Its minimalist, almost carnival-poster layout makes it appealing for collectors of early-1970s alternative design. Increasingly scarce in clean condition, it bridges appeal for Western, satire, and Hoffman collectors alike.
