An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 23 1/2" x 31 1/2" [60 x 80 cm]) (Learn More)

Contre-enquete (released in the U.S. as "Counter Investigation"), the 1947 Jean Faurez French crime film noir murder mystery melodrama (the plot sounds fascinating!; a man is in jail awaiting execution for murdering his wife, but he is innocent; he escapes, just long enough to contact a leading gangster, and he hires him to find out who the true killer is, and he is then re-captured and executed, but the gangster keeps his word and investigates the killing) starring Lucien Coedel, Jany Holt, Louis Salou, Lise Topart, Pierre Louis, Marcel Andre, Paul Frankeur, Abel Jacquin, Gisele Preville, Marguerite Pierry, and Maurice Teynac. Note that this appears to be a completely forgotten film noir, because we have never heard of it, and we could find little information about it on the Internet. But it sounds like it is worthy of being rediscovered! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie!
