Date Sold 6/12/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1956 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 4 1/2" x 6" [11 x 15 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!

Artist: Jano Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it. Condition: good. The herald is in pretty nice condition, but the printing from the back bleeds through in the light colored places in the front, which includes the stars' faces (see our images). This would be true of all examples of this herald that have printing on the back, but please take it into consideration before placing your bid. Learn More about condition grades
