Artist: Sergio Gargiulo Important Added Info: Note that this Italian one-sheet, which measures 27 1/4" x 39 1/2" [69 x 100 cm], is from the first Italian release of this movie, which could have been in 1939, but we found an Italian site that says it was 1941, and that seems quite possible. It is surely no later than 1941. Note that it is not surprising that the Italian distributor completely ignored William Holden and the boxing angle, solely presenting a wonderful sexy image of Barbara Stanwyck, and re-titling the movie "Passione", implying it was a sexy melodrama like Stanwyck's great earlier 1930s movies! Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.
