About the Item

This rare original 1976 All This and World War II Lennon McCartney poster represents a historically singular film collaboration—a documentary that commissioned an original musical score specifically from two of rock music's greatest songwriters. The All This and World War II Lennon McCartney poster celebrates the ambitious moment when John Lennon and Paul McCartney undertook a cinematic composition project, blending archival World War II footage with original instrumental interpretations created by legendary composers for the screen. In 1976, directors Stuart Hagman and Tony Reichel assembled an extraordinary documentary experiment: All This and World War II intercuts authentic WWII newsreel footage with contemporary rock music. Rather than licensing existing material, the filmmakers commissioned John Lennon and Paul McCartney to create an original instrumental score—a rare and prestigious assignment that positioned the Beatles' songwriting genius within documentary cinema. This teaser poster announces the groundbreaking creative collaboration to audiences encountering the film for the first time. This is a first-release teaser poster, presented in pristine condition without National Screen Service numbers or distribution marks (NSS-free variant). The absence of standard theatrical distribution identifiers indicates that this poster remained in a collector's archive or private collection rather than circulating through standard movie-theater distribution channels. Serious vintage cinema and music history collectors actively seek NSS-free variants—they command premium attention, appear less frequently in circulation, and represent the cleaner aesthetic preferred by design-focused collectors and film historians alike. The graphic composition captures mid-1970s theatrical promotion language with bold typography and compositional energy. As a document of the moment when legendary songwriters crossed into film scoring, this poster holds significance for Beatles enthusiasts, documentary film collectors, and music-cinema crossover historians. The 1976 release date places it in the post-Beatles era, when Lennon and McCartney's individual projects were gaining prominence, making this collaborative film score assignment particularly notable. Professionally archival linen-backed and preserved in excellent condition. The offset-lithographic printing remains vivid, with no fading or deterioration. Ready for framing and museum-quality display. ✓ Original film score by John Lennon and Paul McCartney—documented creative collaboration (not compilation or existing material) ✓ First-release teaser variant—NSS-free, collector-preserved condition without standard theatrical distribution marks ✓ Rare Beatles-era cinema crossover artifact—legendary songwriters in documentary film composition ✓ Pristine offset-lithographic condition—linen-backed archival preservation ✓ Certificate of Authenticity included
