Description

Tom Chantrell's movie poster artwork for the 1971 joint British-Spanish movie, A TOWN CALLED BASTARD. Chantrell's image was later re-jigged for the American one-sheet version of its front-of house advertising campaign and the movie's title was re-named A TOWN CALLED HELL for its subsequent USA release (as they felt uncomfortable about using the word BASTARD). As with all of the so-called Spaghetti Westerns prominent at the time, the movie was filmed in Spain.

Delighted to have acquired this particular painting, which will certainly rank as one of my top favourites. Fabulous image featuring some notable acting talents - including, of course, the lovely Stella Stevens . . .
