Auction History Result 8p009 WOMAN OF THE RIVER 40x60 1956 full-length art of sexy Sophia Loren, who is all woman, rare! Date Sold 8/14/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1956 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) La Donna del Fiume (released in the U.S. in 1956 as "Woman of the River"), the 1954 Mario Soldati Italian/French crime melodrama ("Sophia Loren is all woman in Woman of the River") starring Sophia Loren ("The anAtomic Bomb from Italy"), Gerard Oury, Lise Bourdin, Rik Battaglia, Giorgio Bassani, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Florestano Vancini, Antonio Altoviti, and Mario Soldati. Note that this is one of the many early movies that Sophia Loren appeared in in the early 1950s. After it was released in 1954, she did not gain widespread international notice until the following year, and it was not until 1956 that this was released in the U.S., as "Woman of the River". After she became a superstar in 1957 with "Boy on a Dolphin", the movie was released again in the U.S. So there are both 1956 and 1957 U.S. posters from this movie, and it had an entirely different ad campaign each time!

Note that this very sexy image of Sophia Loren was NOT used on the regular posters (including the one-sheet) when the movie was first released in the U.S. in 1956, but was solely used on this 40x60. When the movie was re-released a year later (see above), the new 1957 re-release one-sheet was based on this image, because the new ad campaign focused almost entirely on sexy Sophia Loren! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has smudges, small stains, creases, and scuffs scattered throughout, but fortunately, they are primarily in the white background areas, although there are a few small stains in part of one of Loren's legs (see our image). There is a 4" razor cut near the bottom of the image in Loren's foot that has brown paper tape on the reverse, and there is also a 4" diagonal tear in the bottom border that has paper tape on the reverse. There are many creases and a few tiny tears in the borders. There is staining and darkening in the bottom 5" of the poster, which affects the word "TECHNICOLOR", but otherwise is in the bottom blank area. This wonderful very rare poster could be displayed as it is, or one could have restoration performed Learn More about condition grades
