An Original Vintage Theatrical Promotional Movie Brochure (measures 18" x 24" [46 x 61 cm]; 7 pages) (Learn More) La Dolce Vita (sometimes referred to as "Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita"; literally translates to "The Sweet Life"), the classic 1960 (released in the U.S. in 1961) Federico Fellini (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) French/Italian romantic melodrama ("Uncut uncensored now for all to see... the nights, the drunken revels, the sin and the sinners, the perverted decadence of the jet set rich who live what they call 'the sweet life'"; "The most talked about - the most shocked about film of our years"; about a successful Italian movie critic who is dissatisfied with the emptiness of his life, even though he is surrounded by rich and famous people and has a beautiful girlfriend, and he yearns to understand why) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimee, Yvonne Furneaux, Magali Noel, Lex Barker, Jacques Sernas, Alain Cuny, Annibale Ninchi, Walter Santesso, Nadia Gray, and Franca Pasut. Note that Astor Pictures, which had been known for mostly re-releasing classic U.S. movies in the 1940s and 1950s, acquired the rights for the first American release of this classic Italian movie, which they released on April 19, 1961. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the most elaborate promo brochure we have ever seen! Not surprisingly, Astor Pictures knew they had a very hot property when they acquired the rights to this classic, and then-daring, movie, and they made this huge (18" x 24") brochure, which is a folder that has two pockets. They made it right after the April 19, 1961 U.S. premiere they held, and the seven pages are reproductions of the newspaper ads they ran and the critics' response to this wonderful movie (we have provided an image of the front cover, the back cover, and two of the loose interior pages, which are all single-sided). We have never seen this brochure before, and it may be many years, if ever, before we see it again! Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example f it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good to very good. The covers of the folder have creases and scuffs around the edges, with a more significant crease in the top right corner, but almost all the creases and scuffs are in the solid black areas (see our images).
