Surf Movie Poster Art 1957 - 2004 By Matt WarsawSurf movies have always attracted a certain kind of audience: passionate, committed, and quite often stoned. Their posters began as colorful notices stapled onto beachside telephone poles in the early fifties. Four decades later, surf expert Matt Warshaw brings to wave-riders everywhere this singular collection of over 140 rare posters, covering everything from "Endless Summer" to "Step Into Liquid," from the bubbly optimism of Gidget to the psychedelic inventiveness of "Pacific Vibrations." Including ticket stubs, photos of old-time premieres, and a side-splitting history of the surf movie, Surf Movie Tonite! brilliantly illustrates the intersection of beach and film culture. Color.Size: 9 x 12 in.Hardback - 144 pages ISBN 0-8118-4873-6
