Silver Streak / High Anxiety

This is a really unusual late 70's British double-bill 20th Century Fox film poster. The reason for pairing these two Fox films as great "A" certificate comedies is straight forward. The reason for devoting over a third of the poster to "The Big G Show!" is less straight forward and although G is a tenuous link for Gene Wilder this only applies to the first film and we are left with a British hash incorporating "Giggle! & Gasp!" to try to make it fit. In fairness the photos work well to create a link between the films but this film poster shows why design is so important to a successful film poster.
