Photograph

[African American] [Blaxploitation] The Mack film photo archive. Archive includes 3 promotional materials from the 1973 blaxploitation film The Mack, directed by Michael Campus and starring Max Julien and Richard Pryor. The set consists of one black-and-white press release photograph and two color lobby cards issued by Cinema National Pictures for theatrical exhibition. Each measure 8.5" x 11". The black-and-white press still features Max Julien in a dynamic mid-action pose as Goldie, the film's central character, conveying the intense energy and attitude characteristic of the genre. The caption describes the character's return to the streets of Oakland after five years in prison, determined to reclaim and expand his influence. The color lobby cards depict dramatic scenes from the film: one shows Goldie confronting a rival at gunpoint in a close, high-stakes moment of tension, while the other captures a crowded and stylish party scene filled with 1970s flair, including afros, sunglasses, and bold fashion—hallmarks of the film's cultural aesthetic. Both lobby cards are labeled with the film’s title and catalog numbers, and they reflect the gritty visual style and social themes of power, survival, and systemic oppression explored in The Mack. Together, these materials exemplify the promotional strategies used to market African American cinema in the early 1970s and highlight The Mack's lasting impact as a cornerstone of the blaxploitation genre. Overall very good condition.
