JFK (1991) Poster, US, Signed by Oliver Stone (director)


Unframed: 40 x 27 in. (101.6 x 68.6 cm)

 

Mr. Sohal met Oliver Stone at a book signing of The Untold History of the United States at Senate House, University of London.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This film was directed by Oliver Stone and stars Kevin Costner, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Laurie Metcalf, and Gary Oldman. The film looks at the events leading up to the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy, from the perspective of the former New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner). Garrison brought about his own investigation into the assassination of the President, and charges against businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones) were made for his alleged participation in a conspiracy to assassinate the President. However, an investigation by the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald (Gary Oldman) assassinated President Kennedy and that he had acted alone in doing so.
