This is an original, rare Gilda Live poster taken from Rolling Stone magazine in 1980.
Gilda Live is a 1980 American comedy documentary film starring Gilda Radner, directed by Mike Nichols and produced by Lorne Michaels.[1] Radner and Michaels and all of the writers involved with the production were alumni from the television program Saturday Night Live. Gilda Live is a filmed version of the comedic one-woman show performance of Gilda Radner Live on Broadway. Originally titled Gilda Radner: Live from New York (renamed Gilda Live for the film debut), it had a steady success as a play but the movie itself and the record as well, both released in March 1980, were complete flops with critics and the public. The Gilda Live movie was shot in Boston a few weeks before the start of Saturday Night Live's 5th season (late summer/early autumn of 1979). (It was decided not to film it in New York because of union problems.) More footage for the film was shot at The Brooklyn Academy of Music in December 1979. The film itself was basically a rehash of Radner's most popular Saturday Night Live characters and sketches. It included Roseanne Roseannadanna, Emily Litella, Candy Slice, Judy Miller, Lisa Loopner, Nadia Comăneci, and Rhonda Weiss, and many other skits and performances such as "Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals" (which was a little more risque than the original TV version, as this version was the only scene that got the film an R rating), "I Love to Be Unhappy", "Goodbye Saccharine" and "Honey (Touch Me with My Clothes On)". Skits were also performed by Don Novello as Father Guido Sarducci. The tagline to the film was: "Things like this only happen in the movies."

Over the years I have amassed a pretty sizeable collection of vintage music magazines from the 60s, 70s and 80s, and it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to take the best covers, album adverts and articles and turn them into posters.
Hopefully my loss can be your gain as there are some absolute beauties in my collection. Please have a look through the other items in my shop.
-------------
All our posters are 100% authentic originals from the date and year stated.
The majority are from publications such as Rolling Stone, Melody Maker, NME etc.
We will never stock reprints, modern remakes, fakes or any of that sort of rubbish.
Because all of our products are original, authentic items, they will have an aged look. This could mean folds, slight fraying around the edges, yellowing of paper etc. Please see photos for details.
The image you see might be of a folded spread of the magazine, this is only because it hasn’t been cut up yet. You will get a clean cut 1-page poster.
You can buy the poster framed or unframed. The black picture frame is stylish and thin with a delicate grain texture and a glass front, it can be hung portrait or landscape.
Frame dimensions are H530mm x W430mm x D15mm.

NB Because the items are vintage, the sizes may be slightly off, but the above is a good general guide.
Happy shopping, any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
UPDATE: I won't be mailing framed posters outside of the UK. Postage is really, really expensive and you're better off spending the money on framing the poster yourself. Hope you understand.
