THE POSTER THAT MARTY HATED! ..When Taxi Driver came along, I thought of it as a labor of love nobody was going to see. We’d had problems with censorship, the studio got mad at me because they’d been threatened with an X rating. I loved this Belgian artist and wanted him to make a painting that would be the poster for Taxi Driver. It was beautiful and I loved it. The studio made a B-movie poster, just black and white, Bob De Niro walking up Eighth Avenue, a porn theater behind him and it said, “In every city, there’s one.” I hated that poster, but it was the one that sold the picture. -Martin Scorsese, Playboy Interview 2003
