A 1954 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Four-Panel Movie Poster (4p; measures approximately 78" x 110") (Learn More) Cavalleria Rusticana (released in the U.S. in 1963 as "Fatal Desire"), the 1953 Carmine Gallone Italian romantic love triangle crime murder thriller ("There is a special kind of payment for 'borrowing' another man's wife."; based on the play by Giovanni Verga; about a soldier who deserts from the Army and returns home and finds his girlfriend has married another man, and he starts romancing another woman, but has an affair with his married sweetheart, which results in a battle to the death with her husband) starring Kerima, May Britt, Ettore Manni, Virginia Balistrieri, Grazia Spadaro, Umberto Spadaro, and Anthony Quinn NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Averardo Ciriello Important Added Info: Note that Anthony Quinn first made movies in the U.S. in 1936, but because of his "ethnic look", was typecast in roles as Native Americans, Latins, villains, etc. In 1952, he won a Best Supporting Oscar for his part as a Mexican in Viva Zapata, but he longed for better leading roles, and he moved to Italy where he lived for a decade. In 1954, he starred in La Strada, which made him an international star. After that movie's release, the distributor of this movie, in which Quinn had played a minor role the year before, re-released the movie giving Anthony Quinn top billing, and showing solely an image of him, when he wasn't even one of the four principal leads! This surely is one of the most deceptive advertising campaigns ever! Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Also note that this Italian four-panel poster was printed in 4 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures approximately 78" x 110" and is folded. Condition: fair. There are areas of paper loss and a large semi-circular tear in the center of Quinn's figure. There are many separations, small tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of many foldlines, and there is larger paper loss in the right half of the middle foldline (but fortunately it is only blank white background). There are many tears and pinholes around the edges of the poster with paper loss in the borders. The entire poster is quite fragile. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above and are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
