Artist: Mano Important Added Info: Note that the poster pictured at right was paperbacked, which means it was backed onto a paper soon after it was printed (similar to the kraft-backing process, only in this case white paper was used) so it could be passed from one theater to another. One could have it professionally removed from the paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Also note that these are "country of origin" posters for this Italian movie! Also note that these posters were folded at one time but have been laying flat for a long time and they will be sent rolled in a tube. Finally, note that Anthony Quinn first made movies in the U.S. in 1936, but because of his "ethnic look", was typecast in roles as Native Americans, Latins, villains, etc. In 1952, he won a Best Supporting Oscar for his part as a Mexican in Viva Zapata, but he longed for better leading roles, and he moved to Italy where he lived for a decade. In 1954, he starred in La Strada, which made him an international star. After that movie's release, the distributor of this movie, in which Quinn had played a minor role the year before, re-released the movie giving Anthony Quinn top billing, and showing solely an image of him, when he wasn't even one of the four principal leads! This surely is one of the most deceptive advertising campaigns ever! 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.
