An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Italian Movie Poster (measures 19 3/4" x 27 3/4") (Learn More) Ossessione (literally translates to "Obsession"), the classic 1943 Luchino Visconti Italian romantic infidelity crime murder thriller (written by Visconti and others, based on James Cain's classic "The Postman Always Rings Twice", but they did not pay Cain, so he was uncredited, and the film was not released in the U.S. until the 1970s because of this!; the movie follows the source novel closely, with a drifter getting a job at an inn run by an older man and his young beautiful wife, and the woman lures him into an affair and then convinces him to kill her husband) starring Clara Calamai, Massimo Girotti, Juan de Landa, Dhia Cristiani, and Elio Marcuzzo. Note that this movie, Visconti's first, predated the neorealistic classics, "Open City" and "The Bicycle Thief", and was very influential in the Italian cinema that arose during the end of the Italian participation at the end of World War II.

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. Condition: very good to fine. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had darkened, and was folded across the middle with minor wear along the foldline. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
