Collectors’ Note: One of the most collectable 1970s Westerns due to its cult following, legendary director Sam Peckinpah, and Bob Dylan’s dual contribution as actor and composer. The Australian daybill is particularly sought after for its unique colour palette and composition, differing from the U.S. version. Condition significantly impacts value—clean folds and bright colours are key to premium resale. Increasingly difficult to find in unrestored condition, this piece appeals to fans of both Western cinema and Dylan memorabilia collectors.
