This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (DCGeist) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a movie poster;
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film or poster in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster; and
4. the image is significant because it illustrates (a) a significant and representative 1970s B movie by filmmakers who wouldgo onto renown in other forms of the medium and (b) the marketing of such movies during the historical period in question
