aha, yes - it's here: post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

Riding Tall (1974)
Final day for two rarely-screened '70s rodeo dramas: a beautiful Sony Archive 35mm print of Cliff Robertson's J.W. COOP (1971) plays tonight (Thursday) at 7:30pm paired with the not-on-dvd rarity RIDING TALL (1972) starring Andrew Prine at 9:50pm. pic.twitter.com/NsXCDkSwqv— New Beverly Cinema (@newbeverly) March 14, 2019

How was it?
Also, kind of a photo variation of busy/claustrophobic:

― ... (Eazy), Thursday, 11 April 2019 15:27 (seven years ago)
I dunno, this style of poster feels like the slicker 90s cousin to the busy/claustrophobic etc. I remember a lot of the Grisham movies having posters similar to this.
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Thursday, 11 April 2019 15:39 (seven years ago)
that one is neither busy nor does it contain caricature
― blokes you can't rust (sic), Thursday, 11 April 2019 15:41 (seven years ago)
It is busy in the sense that a lot of actors faces are crammed into it. Like I said, the less fun 90s variant on what we're talking about here.

― andrew m., Thursday, 1 August 2019 19:03 (six years ago)
if you can stomach it, here's the opening theme song. the yt description says: "The opening scene from Sixpack Annie features a great song by Minette Allton and Melissa Wilson, performed by Tim Hayfield. The moment Annie lovably bellows "Oh... who says we're wearing any pants!" I knew I was going to like this film." to me it sounds like they sent in some lyrics to MSR to have rodd keith have a go at it. just total garbage.
