the poster


About 31 minutes into the film, Putney goes to bed with his future wife, and as they are making out, he tears a poster off the wall above the bed.

I'm interested in the poster - it looks like it may be an image from another film? But I'm not sure. Can anyone provide details?

As I recall, it was a poster of Sidney Poitier, though I can't remember what movie it was from. Two possibilities: a) Putney felt Poitier was not enough of a "black revolutionary." b) Putney is going to make the girl forget that she ever heard of Poitier. Or maybe both

And the liner notes of the DVD say that is the funniest bit in the whole film. (Ripping Poitier's poster down)

To each his own.
