Haunting!"; winner of the Best Foreign Language Academy Award; a re-telling of the Greek myth, updated to the present day and set at the Brazilian Carnival, and featuring black actors in the lead roles) starring Breno Mello (in the title role as Orfeu), Marpessa Dawn (as Eurydice), Marcel Camus, Fausto Guerzoni, Lourdes de Oliveira, and Adhemar Ferreira da Silva (as Death) Artist: Georges Allard Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially French movie! Note that this movie proved so popular on its first release in 1959 that it was given a quick re-release just two years later in 1961. New posters were printed from the same plates, and the only difference between the two posters is that the "9/59" and "59/3" were changed to "8/61" and "61/3" for that later printing. Condition: fair. Someone folded back 1/2" of each border and then taped it to the back of the poster with many small pieces of tape on the back. Someone could remove all the tape from the borders, but then they would still have to contend the tape stains in those areas, plus the folds. Obviously, a talented restorer could do this well, but bear all of this in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
