There were several different styles of posters designed in Italy to promote this film. All the large format posters were in black and white. This is the only large poster which was designed in full colour.

This poster hardly ever surfaces, and is the rarest of all the Italian posters.

This Spaghetti Western was directed and co-written (with Sergio Donati) by Sergio Leone, and the score by Ennio Morricone. The film stars Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale.
