A U.S. one sheet movie poster from 1991 for Alan Parker's fantastic soul-band musical comedy, "The Commitments", based on the novel by Roddy Doyle. Set in Dublin, this superb movie follows Jimmy Rabbitte (played by Robert Arkins) as he assembles a rag-tag band of musicians to form a soul group he names "The Commitments". The film was packed with relative newcomers, selected for their musicianship, rather than acting experience. All but Johnny Murphy (Joey 'The Lips' Fagan) played their own instruments in the film. Oscar nominated and winner of multiple BAFTAs, "The Commitments" is now considered one of the best Irish films ever produced. This poster is an interesting one. It was produced as 27x40 inches was becoming the standard for one sheets, but was clearly produced on a 27x41 inch printing press as it has a half inch white border top and bottom. (This is not unique, we have seen it on other posters, including 'The Terminator'.) I am off to listen to ‘Mustang Sally’! #artofthemovies #thecommitments #alanparker #irishcinema #homecinema #originalmovieposters #originalmovieposter #filmposter #filmposters #vintagemovieposters #movieposter #vintageposters #cinema #collectibles #poster #posters #film #art #films #movieposterframes #framedmovieposters #homedecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CNp5CK3FiQq/?igshid=13bqbt4n2q5xo
