Ten to Midnight (1983) - (Charles Bronson) US one-sheet

This is a 27" x 41" US one-sheet poster by an unknown artist for the 1983 J. Lee Thompson film 10 to Midnight based on a screenplay by William Roberts and starring Charles Bronson as Leo Kessler. Plot summary: Leo Kessler is a Los Angeles Dirty Harry, a police inspector who gets personally involved in his investigation of serial woman killer/slasher Warren Stacy [Gene Davis] (a character apparently inspired by the real world careers of Richard Speck and Ted Bundy), and ends up sidestepping some of the rules (tagline: forget what's legal ... do what's right). The film's title is graphically suggested by the drawing of the knifeman in front of a clock, partially superimposed over Bronson's right shoulder.

Cast and crew: J. Lee Thompson, Charles Bronson, Andrew Stevens, Gene Davis, Geoffrey Lewis, Wilford Brimley, Robert F. Lyons, Bert Williams, Iva Lane, Ola Ray, Kelly Preston, Cosie Costa, Paul McCallum, Jeana Keough, June Gilbert
