DESCRIPTION
Released the same year as Star Wars, Close Encounters represents the other pole of Spielberg's 1977 double triumph. Columbia Pictures' promotional merchandise for the film features the iconic light column imagery from the Devlin Station finale. Unlike Star Wars, Spielberg's deal did not include merchandise rights — making Columbia-produced promotional tees rarer and more controlled. The film's theme of government conspiracy and alien contact resonates as strongly today as in 1977. Original Columbia copyright Hanes tees: $600–$2,000.
