An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Il Segno di Venere (released in the U.S. as "The Sign of Venus"), the 1955 Dino Risi Italian family relationship cousins romantic comedy (about a woman who desperately wants to find a husband, and her gorgeous cousin is fighting men off all the time; De Sica plays a poor elderly poet desperately scheming to get money) starring Sophia Loren, Vittorio De Sica, Alberto Sordi, Franca Valeri, Raf Vallone, Virgilio Riento, and Peppino de Filippo. Note that this movie was one of Sophia Loren's first starring roles (after many small or uncredited roles), but it came out before "Boy on a Dolphin", the first movie that made her known to American audiences. Poster material on it from any release is extremely rare, and it appears that it was never released in the U.S. at all, which is surprising, because one would think it would have at least been released after she became a major star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Note that it seems very surprising that Peppino de Filippo was given a special first release poster, since he was not a major character in the movie, and it also seems even more surprising that there is no mention of any sort of Sophia Loren, the top billed star who certainly would have increased the audience for the movie!
