An Original Vintage Theatrical Italian Movie Art Print (measures 11 1/2" x 13 1/2" [29 x 34 cm]) (Learn More) Europa '51 (released in the U.S. in 1954 as "The Greatest Love"), the 1951 Roberto Rossellini ("Directed by the one man who could make it so great!") Italian post-World War II (WWII) romantic melodrama ("Bergman's back!"; "The event and the performance the motion picture world has waited for, for four long years!"; "Would she lose her husband, her home? - Her answer will stun you!"; "Her first motion picture in four long years!"; "The performance she'll be remembered for most! Passionate and poignant - a many-mooded woman with a one-track heart!"; "The life she wanted could lose her a husband, a home... the choice she made will stun you!") starring Ingrid Bergman ("Achieving new depths of drama and emotion!"), Alexander Knox, Ettore Giannini, Teresa Pellati, Giulietta Masina, and Sandro Franchina. Note that Ingrid Bergman was in a major scandal in the late 1940s, when it was revealed she had had an affair with director Roberto Rossellini while still married to her first husband. This was at a time when such events could end one's career, and it was thought that Bergman's career was over. But she took some time off from making movies, and after a four year absence, she appeared in this movie directed by Rossellini, who she had married in the meantime and had children with. This movie was promoted in the U.S. with the tagline "Bergman's back!", and its story line paralleled that of Bergman and Rossellini's real life romance.

Also note that this item is one of several Italian art prints we are auctioning this week. We believe these to be from a mid '50s distributor portfolio produced for industry promotional purposes and all feature very striking artwork! Also note that this is the famous poster art of Bergman that was painted for the original Italian 2 panel that was prominently featured in a recent movie poster show that was dedicated to Martin Scorsese's collection of movie poster rarities! If anyone knows more about exactly when these prints were created and how they were distributed, please e-mail us and we will post it here! Condition: good to very good. There are light brown stains across the bottom of the print with some extending into the background areas of the artwork. There is a remnant of a piece of brown tape on the back of the print at top center. Learn More about condition grades
