What a movie poster!
A guaranteed original Italian 'four-fogli' movie poster from the 1970's for Sergio Leone's 1966 seminal spaghetti western "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" with Clint Eastwood reprising his role as the man with no name, 'Blondie'.
Unbelievably, the film received negative reviews upon release, but today, the final movie of The Dollars Trilogy is widely regarded as the finest Western ever made. Sergio Leone's sweeping long-shots, tense close-ups and Ennio Morricone's soundtrack combine in a masterpiece of cinema. Quentin Tarantino has called it "the best directed film of all time" and "the greatest achievement in the history of cinema". High, but well deserved, praise.
Tarantino's own Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has introduced the spaghetti western to a new generation of fans, and, with the prominent use of movie posters within the film, increased the desire for illustrated Italian movie posters.
This is an absolutely wonderful example - and it is huge! Italian 'four-fogli' movie posters were issued in two pieces and would have been pasted together to appear as a single image. At some point in its fifty plus years, the two pieces of this poster have been linen-backed on a single piece of linen. The paper conservator did a pretty good job of lining the two pieces up but the join is visible under close examination. The poster itself it in super condition, but the linen border has suffered some damage. We have included photos of these areas for your examination.
This is a special poster and as our photos show, it will look incredible framed an on display!
