U.S. re-release still of 1966 for LA DOLCE VITA (1959). Marcello Mastroianni and Anouk Aimee portrait still.
Very Fine Plus.

Original Astor Pictures One Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Federico Fellini masterpiece, LA DOLCE VITA (1960) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, and Anouk Aimee. The iconic image of Anita Ekberg holding a kitten – from the scene where she wades through the Trevi fountain – became the central image of the campaign for this film in the U.S. This film depicts seven days (and nights) in the life of an Italian journalist (Mastroianni), who is torn between making something serious of his life or drifting along on a pleasant stream of casual affairs and meaningless work. Fellini gives us a wonderful chronicle of a decadent society where there are no real values other than alcohol and sex, and no solutions except suicide. Fellini’s widescreen look at Roman life at the beginning of the sixties mirrors Hollywood’s fascination with historical Roman epics of the period. LA DOLCE VITA is, quite simply, one of the most famous films in the history of the cinema. It created a sensation when it was released. A landmark score by Nino Rota leaves an indelible imprint in the minds of all who see this film for the first time. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Director for Fellini, Best Screenplay, and Best Art Direction. It won the Oscar for Best Costume Design. We grade this as Fine Plus. There is a small chip missing out of the border area on the upper right corner, easily restored with linen backing. Image area is very fine. We will sell this either backed or unbacked for the price stated. Ask us about linen backing services through one of our
skilled conservationists.

Apparently also released in the U.S.A. as MATING, MODERN STYLE, probably mid sixties. Most likely capitalizing on the success of MARRIAGE, ITALIAN STYLE, YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW as well as the Fellini films starring Mastroianni, this poster is for a little known re-release of LA FORTUNA DI ESSERE DONNA. The film is described as a light entertainment about a photographer (Mastroianni) who takes a photo of a girl (Loren) that ends up on a magazine cover without her permission. The usual Italian nonsense ensues. Directed by Alessandro Blasetti. The garish poster paints an altogether more strumpet like image of the bombshell Loren. Rare. Very fine condition.
