An Original Vintage (re-titled "Freud: The Secret Passion") Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Freud (also released as "Freud: The Secret Passion" and as "Freud, His Life, His Loves, His Secret Passion"), the 1962 John Huston biography psychology melodrama ("Alone, he fought against his own dark passions... Against the taboos of an outrageous world... Knowing that the shocking truth could ruin his career... Destroy his marriage!"; "He dared to search beyond the flesh!"; "The boldly penetrating drama of the man who tore away the world's mask of sexual innocence!"; "Knowing that the shocking truth could ruin his career... Destroy his marriage!"; "'When you are in your office I close my ears to the intimate secrets you must share!'"; "An evening with Dr. Sigmund Freud") starring Montgomery Clift (in the title role as Sigmund Freud), Susannah York, Susan Kohner, Eileen Herlie, Eric Portman, Larry Parks (making a rare screen comeback after being blacklisted for testifying in the HUAC hearings), and David McCallum. The movie was briefly released as "Freud", but did so terribly that they immediately issued it under the title "The Secret Passion", in a desperate attempt to trick film-goers into thinking they were seeing a sleazy sex movie! (it didn't work). 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 after this movie failed in its very first release under the title of "Freud", Universal re-sent it to theaters under a title "The Secret Passion", trying to present it as a lurid sex movie, playing down the Freud connection. This poster, which I've never seen before, presents the movie under its original title of "Freud", but has a large "For adults only" at the top, and also presents it as a sex movie! I don't know where this release falls relative to the other two. If anyone knows for sure, please e-mail me and I will post it here. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There is a censor stamp in the background at upper right. There is marker writing on the back of the poster that bleeds through to the front at lower left. Learn More about condition grades
