What a poster! A guaranteed original U.S. one sheet movie poster for Blake Edward's 1961 romantic comedy "Breakfast At Tiffany's", based on the 1958 story by Truman Capote.

There is little that has to be said about this film. Audrey Hepburn's 'Holly Golightly' is sublime, a strong woman with a soft core and a troubled past. George Peppard's 'Paul Varjak' is perfectly measured, almost understated, providing a stability that allows Hepburn's Oscar nominated fragility to shine. A quite wonderful film. As good a watch now, as it was on its release.

This amazing poster is about as iconic as movie posters get. It was, famously, Robert McGinnis' first movie poster. In his 2014 book, McGinnis recounts "I did it, not thinking much about it, because it was very simple... You didn't have to do much with her, she's so perfect."

Originally issued folded (as was the practice at the time), this poster has since been linen-backed and now displays incredibly well. As our photos show, this special poster will make a fantastic centre-piece of any stylish home. Movie posters do not get much better.

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.

Note: This poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
