An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Italian Photobusta Movie Poster (pbusta; measures 19 3/4" x 27 1/4" [50 x 69 cm]) (Learn More) Senso (released in some English-speaking countries as "The Wanton Countess", and released in other countries under various other titles), the 1954 Luchino Visconti Italian historical romantic love triangle war melodrama (set in 1866, when Italy was at war with Austria, and it tells the story of a countess who has an affair with her Italian husband's Austrian enemy, and she betrays her entire country to keep the affair going) starring Alida Valli (often billed as "Valli"; best remembered as the female lead of The Third Man), Farley Granger, Heinz Moog, Rina Morelli, and Marcella Mariani. Note that Visconti made this movie 11 years after Ossessione and 9 years before The Leopard, but it is much less remembered than those two classic movies! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie has a great close up image of Farley Granger and Alida Valli! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. 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.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded down the middle and had many creases and scuffs down that area. There were a few in Granger's nose and hair. There were tiny brown dot stains in the bottom border and a few tiny tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
