An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Advance Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Sciuscia (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "Shoeshine"), the classic 1946 Vittorio De Sica Italian post-World War II (WWII) Neo-Realist falling-out-between-young-boys-who-are-best-friends melodrama starring Emma Gramatica, Antonella Lualdi, Franco Interlenghi, Rinaldo Smordoni, and Annielo Mele NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we believe this poster is from the very first Italian release of this classic Italian movie. Note that Italian posters from the first few years after World War II are among the most rare posters there are! Apparently, there were still major paper shortages in Italy, and few posters were printed, and most were recycled. This is an extremely rare first release Italian poster from 1946. Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie!
UPDATED 01/08/2015: Note that we believe this to be an advance poster based on the tagline which translates to "Their names and their faces will become familiar as those of the most famous movie actors", which certainly became true as this is considered a classic Italian film! Condition: good. There is paper loss on parts of some foldlines, including in the center of the poster and in the right of the image (in the boy's eye). There are tears and tiny areas of paper loss on some of the other foldlines. Obviously, this very rare and important poster can be linenbacked and restored, and afterwards, it will look great, but please bear its condition in mind before placing a bid on it.
