An Original 1957 (from the first release of this movie in France) Vintage Theatrical Folded French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 46 1/2" x 62 3/4" [118 x 159 cm]) (Learn More) L'Impero Del Sole (released in the U.S. as "Empire in the Sun"), the 1956 Enrico Gras & Mario Craveri Italian/French Peru musical documentary short (with music by Lavagnino) featuring Mathe Altery. Note that this movie is completely forgotten today, but it is very interesting, and SHOULD be remembered! It is a semi-documentary about the people of Peru following a young couple through their courtship, marriage, and birth of their baby, with a backdrop of Peruvian scenery and events, including a trip by train to the Amazon Jungle, to lake Titicaca, to the carnival, and also a bullfight. The musical score that runs throughout the documentary is by Lavagnino, who was a leading Italian composer for movie scores, doing over 200 of them, including many important movies. In 1957, this movie tied for first prize with "Nights of Cabiria" at the David di Donatello Italian film festival, showing how highly it was thought of at that time. The score of the movie has only recently been released, and hopefully the movie itself will get new recognition. Artist: Georges Allard Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially French movie! Note that there is a tiny "5/57 Depot legal 57/2" with "29614" under that at the bottom of the poster.
