An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/4" x 39 3/4" [69 x 101 cm]) (Learn More)

In Vecchie Membra... Pizzicor d'Amore (literally translates to "In Old Limbs ... Pizzicor of Love"), the 1915 Camillo De Riso Italian silent Roman comedy starring Carlo Benetti, Olga Benetti, and Camillo De Riso. Note that Caesar Film was an Italian film production and distribution company active in an initial phase during silent cinema from 1914 to 1919. In these years it became one of the main production houses, involving in its activity many of the most important directors and actors of the time. However, movies from the U.S. soon began to threaten Caesar Film and other Italian film companies. To combat this, several companies (including Caesar Film) merged to form UCI. Unfortunately, UCI went bankrupt in 1925 and this also forced most member companies to cease production. However, Caesar Film was relaunched at the beginning of the sound cinema for a second period of activity that lasted from 1931 to 1935.
Artist: Anselmo Ballester
Important Added Info: We know of Anselmo Ballester as the wonderful Italian poster artist from the 1930s to 1950s, but actually, he was born in 1897, and he did his first posters in 1914! He did the artwork for this poster at the start of his career. It very clearly has Ballester's very distinctive signature on it. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Also note that this Italian one-sheet measures 27 1/4" x 39 3/4" [69 x 101 cm].

Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.
