An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78") (Learn More)

La Spada e la croce (released in the U.S. in 1960 as "Mary Magdalene"), the 1958 Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia (billed as "C.L. Bragaglia") Italian Biblical religious melodrama ("Spectacle of the Ages!"; "She-Devil... Or Saint?"; "'...and 7 DEVILS were cast forth!'"; "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."; "Mistress of the King"; "Sweetheart of the Roman"; "Captive of the Bandit") starring Yvonne De Carlo (in the title role as Mary Magdalene), Jorge Mistral, Rossana Podesta, Massimo Serato, Mario Girotti, Andrea Aureli (as Barabbas), Rossana Rory, Philippe Hersent (as Pontius Pilate), Gianna Maria Canale and Marisa Allasio. Note that, at the same time this movie was being made in Italy, another movie, "Le Schiave di Cartagine", was also being made. The other movie, "Le Schiave di Cartagine", was released in the U.S. in 1960 as "The Sword and the Cross", and later in 1960 "La Spada e la Croce" was released as "Mary Magdalene", and it appears that sometimes the two movies have been confused (both about early Christians in Rome, both made in Italy in the late 1950s, and both released in the U.S. in 1960).

Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Also note that this Italian two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures 55" x 78". Note that this poster was folded in half an extra time. If it is purchased by itself (or solely with other posters that were folded an extra time), then it can be sent in one of our standard size mailers. But if it is purchased with posters that were NOT folded an extra time, then it will need to be sent in one of our oversized flat packages. If you solely purchase this poster, we will re-fold it an extra time, and send it in our standard size mailer to save on shipping, but we will then not include the bonus items.

Condition: very good to fine.
