1967 Best Picture winner In the Heat of the Night.

Problems with image:

  • it has a caption in the image (says United Artists) at the bottom
  • worse, it's a black and white image for a color film

EDIT: not sure why the title to this discussion looks weird

The thread title is trying to link to what you inputted. I'll fix it.

Any replacement ideas for the image in the meantime?

Here are three stills from the film that each feature the two stars. As you'll see a couple would need minor cropping.

One

Two

Three

Think I like #3 best.

^ Unfortunately 7.1 has a watermark in the lower left corner.

I think most of the options here are ok, they're just a bit fuzzy. Is there a remastered version of the film available that we can take screencaps from?

I'm not technologically advanced enough to do that.

[up][up] That's interesting...my only complaint is how much detail is lost on the stuff at the bottom.

Personally I prefer stills from a film to posters. But a poster would be better than what we have now.

Nothing from the suggested images? Do I need to look more?
