Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo (released in the U.S. in 1966 as "The Gospel According to St. Matthew"), the 1964 Pier Paolo Pasolini French/Italian religious Bible melodrama ("A rare and sincerely moving experience"; "One of the great films of all time, regardless of subject!") starring Enrique Irazoqui (as Jesus Christ), Margherita Caruso (as young Mary), Susannah Pasolini (as the older Mary), Marcello Morante (as Joseph), Mario Socrate (as John the Baptist), Settimio Di Porto (as Peter), and Ferruccio Nuzzo (in the title role as Matthew)

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 partially Italian movie!

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.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines, with many scuffs in the solid black areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, after the poster was backed, it acquired water staining down the right edge of the excess linen, and it slightly extends into the poster in the top of the right blank border (see our image).
