An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (measures approximately 39" x 55") (Learn More) Medea, the 1969 (released in the U.S. in 1971) Pier Paolo Pasolini Italian/French/German historical Greek tragedy melodrama (based on the play by Euripides) starring Maria Callas (in the title role as Medea), Massimo Girotti, Laurent Terzieff, Giuseppe Gentile, Margareth Clementi, Annamaria Chio, and Paul Jabara. Note that star Maria Callas was a legendary opera singer. She retired in the mid 1960s and planned to marry mega rich Aristotle Onassis, but he dumped her for Jackie Kennedy, and a despondent Callas made this movie, a non-singing role, and her only movie, but it did not do well at the box office, and she made an attempt to resume her opera career, but her voice failed her.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Finally, note that this Italian one-panel measures approximately 39" x 55" and is paperbacked. Condition: good to very good. The poster was in pretty good condition prior to paperbacking, with some darkening and creases on most foldlines. Someone foolishly rolled the paperbacked poster, and there are now many light horizontal creases throughout the poster (although they are not all that noticeable). This week we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like creasing, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
