Details
This is an authentic U.S. one-sheet movie poster for the 1982 comedy-crime film Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, directed by Carl Reiner and starring Steve Martin alongside Rachel Ward and Barbara Stanwyck.
The film is notable for its innovative “Detecto Vision” technique, blending new footage with classic 1940s film noir clips—making this poster especially appealing to fans of both comedy and vintage noir cinema.
The artwork features bold, eye-catching imagery and classic early-80s design elements, with the memorable tagline: “Laugh, or I’ll blow your lips off…”—a standout piece for collectors of Steve Martin memorabilia or cult comedy films.
