Auction History Result 2e172 CAN-CAN Italian 2p '62 different image of sexy Shirley MacLaine kicking her leg in the air! Date Sold 3/30/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1962 (from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78") (Learn More) Cole Porter's Can-Can, the 1960 Walter Lang France singing-and-dancing romantic musical ("Now at popular prices! Continuous performances! THE GREATEST ENTERTAINMENT SHOW! UNCUT! INTACT! Exactly as it ran for over a year in the major capitals of the world!"; with music by Cole Porter; based on the play by Abe Burrows) starring Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, and Juliet Prowse (in her first movie role; she was in the Juliet Prowse Trio dancing in Rome, Italy, and MGM choreographer Hermes Pan saw her and recommended she be cast in the role of Shirley MacLaine's sister in this movie!). Note that, as noted above, the movie played in a very limited "roadshow" release for a full year in "the major capitals of the year", before it had a wide release to "regular" theaters. The version that played in those capitals of the world was in TODD-AO, but that version was not used for the wide release. So none of the regular U.S. posters have "TODD-AO" on them, because new posters were created for the wide release, and whatever posters were used in the few U.S. cities for the TODD-AO release either no longer exist or may have been individually made. We have seen a Japanese poster and a Spanish language poster with "TODD-AO" on it, and we were recently consigned a British quad that has "TODD-AO" at the top, but has a snipe over it, indicating it was used for the wide release in England. If anyone has ever seen any other posters with TODD-AO, especially a U.S. one, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 Italian two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures 55" x 78". Also note that this poster was folded in half an extra time. If it is purchased by itself (or solely with other posters that were folded an extra time), then it can be sent in one of our standard size mailers. But if it is purchased with posters that were NOT folded an extra time, then it will need to be sent in one of our oversized flat packages. If you solely purchase this poster, we will re-fold it an extra time. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
