Somewhat daring, somewhat different, somewhat delicious... "; "which Boccaccio might have included in his 'Decameron' for understanding audiences of 1970."; "Vittorio De Sica directs Academy Award Winner Sophia Loren"; "Federico Fellini directs Anita Ekberg"; "Luchino Visconti directs Romy Schneider"; "'The Raffle', 'The Temptation of Dr. Antonio', 'The Job'") starring Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg, Romy Schneider, Peppino DeFilippo, Tomas Milian, Romolo Valli, and Alfio Vita. The three sections in the U.S. version of this movie are: "The Raffle", "The Temptation of Dr. Antonio", and "The Job", but actually, the original Italian version has 4 parts, with the 4th being "Renzo & Luciana" directed by Mario Monicelli. When the movie was released in the U.S. and Germany, Monicelli's contribution was deleted, likely because the film ran too long and because he was not known outside of Italy. So the original Italian posters show four directors in director chairs, while the U.S. and German posters only show three! 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 these are "country of origin" posters for this partially Italian movie! Also note that these posters were folded at one time but have been laying flat for a long time and they will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away last year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca.
