Date Sold 11/12/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Boccaccio '70, the 1962 Vittorio De Sica, Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, & Mario Monicelli Italian/French multi-part fantasy comedy ("The first 3-act motion picture ever presented!"; "Three stories of the sexes... Somewhat daring, somewhat different, somewhat delicious... "; "which Boccaccio might have included in his 'Decameron' for understanding audiences of 1970."; "Vittorio De Sica directs Academy Award Winner Sophia Loren"; "Federico Fellini directs Anita Ekberg"; "Luchino Visconti directs Romy Schneider"; "'The Raffle', 'The Temptation of Dr. Antonio', 'The Job'") starring Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg, Romy Schneider, Peppino DeFilippo, Tomas Milian, Romolo Valli, and Alfio Vita. The three sections in the U.S. version of this movie are: "The Raffle", "The Temptation of Dr. Antonio", and "The Job", but actually, the original Italian version has 4 parts, with the 4th being "Renzo & Luciana" directed by Mario Monicelli. When the movie was released in the U.S. and Germany, Monicelli's contribution was deleted, likely because the film ran too long and because he was not known outside of Italy. So the original Italian posters show four directors in director chairs, while the U.S. and German posters only show three! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: What a wonderful candid this is! In the movie, Ekberg is on a gigantic billboard, and she comes to life off of the billboard and is the same size that she was on it, so she is massively oversized! To make this work in the movie, Fellini built a prop city that is very tiny, and this great candid shows Ekberg sitting in front of a fountain and a building that are tiny compared to her! Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: good to very good. There are creases and a tiny tear in the bottom border. Learn More about condition grades
