The Spanish Main, the 1945 Frank Borzage romantic swashbuckling seafaring pirate action adventure thriller ("Spectacular Romantic Adventure"; "In Glorious Technicolor"; "Breath-taking in its big lavish scenes and gorgeous costumes..soul-stirring in its warm and exciting romance") starring Paul Henreid, Maureen O'Hara, Walter Slezak, Binnie Barnes, John Emery, Barton MacLane, and Victor Kilian. Note that this was the first Technicolor film that RKO produced!

Artist: Tarquini

Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare Italian poster from the end of World War II (and it is certainly from the first release, given that it has the RKO logo and is similar to other mid 1940s Italian posters we have seen)! We had never seen even one Italian poster from the first Italian release of this movie. Virtually no Italian posters survive from the mid 1940s and earlier (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from this time period!
