A 1960 Re-Release (re-titled "Female and the Flesh" for this re-release) Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) La Lumiere d'en Face (released in the U.S. in 1957 as "The Light Across the Street" and "Female and the Flesh"), the 1955 Georges Lacombe French bad girl romantic love triangle melodrama ("Temptations of the World! ...with a climax every woman will remember as a new emotional experience!"; "The sensational Brigitte Bardot in 'The Light Across the Street'"; "More woman than any man can handle!"; the plot of the movie owes a lot to "The Postman Always Rings Twice"; Bardot and her husband run a highway restaurant; her husband is recovering from an accident and neglects her, and when a new young handsome man starts to work at the gas station across the street, events progress as you would expect they would) starring Raymond Pellegrin, Roger Pigaut, Brigitte Bardot, Claude Romain, Antonin Berval (billed as "Berval"), Daniel Ceccaldi, Lucien Hubert, Guy Pierauld, and Jean Debucourt. Note that this movie had an extremely limited U.S. subtitled release from UMPO in 1957 as "The Light Across the Street" and " Female and the Flesh" (perhaps solely in major cities at "arthouse" theaters). It was re-released in the U.S. in 1960 under the title of "Female and the Flesh" with English dubbing, and with all new posters, and these posters are often mistakenly sold as being from the first U.S. release.

Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Brigitte Bardot". Condition: very good. There is minor fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
