About your life... About your family... About your work... About your doubts... About your dreams... You will see yourself in the leading role as though you were looking in a mirror... This is your film - Federico Fellini"; "This is the story of Guido and his wife and his mistress and the innocent beckoning young girl and all the women in his life, past and present and how they became a living part of his erotic fantasies"; "The story of a man and his imagination - and the women who are so wickedly a part of it!"; after Fellini's 8th movie [plus 1/3 of one movie, plus 1/7 of another movie, which in his mind equaled 8 1/2 movies] he then had difficulty finding a suitable next movie, and he ended up making a movie about that search for a suitable next movie, and he called that movie "8 1/2"!) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimee, Sandra Milo, Rosella Falk, Barbara Steele, and Madeleine Lebeau 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 this large Italian photobusta measures 27" x 39" and is linenbacked. Also note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). OR you can't see the restoration because it was so well done, but the poster had fairly significant defects. OR no restoration was performed, but the defects are not major, and restoration could be done to the poster without re-backing it. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Poster had creases and some tears on some foldlines, and paper loss at the crossfolds. It had minor smudges and creases, as well as some border defects, including pinholes in the corners. The poster is pretty well linenbacked, but you can still see some signs of the restoration along the foldlines, even from a distance. Learn More about condition grades
