This is an authentic theatrical poster produced for cinema display during the film’s 1974 U.S. release campaign under the title The Divine Mr. J. The film itself originated earlier as The Thorn, a 1971 religious satire directed by Peter Alexander, and was re-promoted in 1974.

This poster is especially notable because it ties to Bette Midler’s film debut. Multiple poster-market references specifically connect the one-sheet to Midler’s early appearance and the alternate-title release history.

Single-sided posters are printed on one side only and were commonly used for theatrical and promotional display purposes prior to the widespread use of double-sided lightbox formats. Collector-market references also document this title as a 27" x 41" U.S. one-sheet.
