Steven Spielberg’s JAWS was released 50 years ago on this day in 1975.
-
The two original posters for this blockbuster film were design by Tony Seiniger (b.1939).
-
For the first advance poster also known as “Shark Facts” took an unusual approach, educating a largely uninformed public about the great white shark. Seiniger worked with writer Robert Chandler to create it and it was so popular that similar ‘Facts’ campaigns were crafted for Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and A Fish Called Wanda (1988).
-
Seiniger considered a number of approaches for the final Jaws poster, but none came close to the power of the artwork for Peter Benchley’s novel in paperback by Roger Kastel (1931-2023). The studio bought the rights to the illustration and Seiniger usedit on the worldwide campaign. It has become one of the most iconic film graphics of our times.

World’s first moving pictures: The Horse in Motion

in 1878 photographer Eadweard Muybridge uses high-speed stop-motion photography to capture a horse’s motion. The photos prove that the horse has all four feet in the air during some parts of its stride. The shots settle an old argument … and start a new medium and industry.

Sergio Leone’s Fistful of Dollars opened in the UK on 11th June 1967 - fifty eight years ago today. The film had originally opened in Italy, to mixed reviews, on 27 August 1964 (in Florence).
So...why the delay of nearly three years, between the Italian and English releases of Fistful?
Well, the plagiarism suit - between Kurosawa Productions and the production company of Fistful - over the similarities between Yojimbo and Leone’s film, was only resolved in May 1966, and United Artists wouldn’t touch Fistful until the issue was satisfactorily concluded. Plus they had to prepare an extensive marketing campaign - now considered a classic - prior to releasing Fistful in the United States in February 1967 (followed by For a Few Dollars More in July of the same year).
British audiences had to wait until 11th June 1967. The critics still weren’t impressed - but audiences certainly were.
They knew it had been well worth the wait. And they knew that United Artists’ advertising tag-line - “”He’s going to trigger a whole new style in adventure” - was exactly right.
