OOP Raiders of the Lost Ark The Raven Last Exit To Nowhere T-Shirt size M

Description: I have a bit of a problem with Last Exit To Nowhere shirts. I have a lot of them and I have many duplicate. So, the wife says I need to downsize. My loss is your gain. This is one of my favorite designs, which is why I have a couple of them. Hand screen printed on a gray vintage T-shirt, this out of production design was Inspired by the fictional tavern in Putan, Nepal featured in the 1981 American action adventure film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen and Paul Freeman. In 1936, archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain its awesome powers. Marion's father, Dr. Abner Ravenwood, was a professor of archaeology obsessed with finding the Biblical Ark of the Covenant; he was also a mentor to the young Henry "Indiana" Jones, who eventually accompanied them on several digs. Marion entered into a relationship with Indiana Jones during this time (when she was 15, according to the novelization of Raiders of the Lost Ark). Jones abruptly left the Ravenwoods in 1926; Marion was about 16or 17 years old when the relationship ended, and Jones was 27, ten years her senior. Later in her life, Marion chastised Jones, stating, "I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!" Jones showed little remorse and simply replied, "You knew what you were doing." After Jones broke off contact with them both, he returned to the United States to focus on his career as an archaeology professor, and Marion and her father settled in Nepal. She later started running a local tavern – "The Raven" – after its manager (her father) died and left it to her. Taking advantage of her high tolerance for alcohol, she would frequently drink the bar's patrons under the table on a wager. She refused to return to the United States until she had enough money to return "with style". In 1936, Marion found herself back in contact with Jones,when he offered her money for the headpiece of the Staff of Ra, an artifact originally located by her father. Reluctant at first, she was forced to cooperate when the bespectacled Gestapo agent Arnold Toht arrived to demand the piece himself. During the subsequent fight, the tavern caught fire. Marion told Jones that, until he paid her the full price he promised, she was his partner.She was then captured by the Nazis in Cairo. Indy believed she was dead until he stumbled upon her bound and gagged in one of the Nazi tents at their dig site. Reasoning that an escape would draw too much-unwanted attention, Indy left her tied up but promised to return. The perceived betrayal did not affect Marion's refusal to cooperate with her captors, however. Belloq's advances resulted only in an aborted escape attempt, and Toht's interrogation was likewise met with uncommon resistance. After being captured by and escaping from Jones' rival, René Belloq, she helped Jones recover the Ark of the Covenant from the Nazis. In the process, the couple rekindled their relationship. While taking pictures I discovered a small hole in the arm right along the seam. All the original thread is still there as is evidenced in the photo of the interior of the hole. The hole looks like it can easily be repaired.
