A stunning and guaranteed original French "Grande" poster from 1970 (the film's original release in France) for Stanley Kramer's World War 2 melodrama "The Secret of Santa Vittoria", based on the best selling novel by Michael Chichton.
Starring Anthony Quinn, Anna Magnani, Virna Lisi, Hardy Kruger and Sergio Franchi, the film was shot on location at Anticoli Corrado, Italy. Set in the Summer of 1943, it tells of the people of Santa Vittoria as they attempt to outwit the Nazi occupiers set on plundering the treasures of the town's wine cellars.
The fantastic artwork is by a master from the second half of the twentieth century, Bob Peak. His seamless blending of the main character with the ensemble of the town's folk is an iconic piece of design. The poster is a stylish classic that will look fantastic in a home setting (perhaps even with linen-backing).
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.
