BIG WEDNESDAY (1978) POSTER, US

Film Posters of the 70s, Aurum Press Limited 1998, page 36

This film was directed by John Milius, and draws from his personal experience and that of his co-writer, Dennis Aaberg. The film tells the story of three surfing buddies in California in the early 60's through to the 70's, and how their lives dramatically changed over this time, from the innocence of the early 60's, to attempting to dodge the Vietnam War draft in 1965, to their reunion for the 'Great Swell of 1974'. The film has become a surfing cult classic.
