Date Sold 6/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) L'amico Intimo di Polidor (released in English-speaking countries as "Polidor's Intimate Friend"), the 1913 Polidor Italian silent comedy short starring Polidor (in the title role). Note that Polidor, the star of this movie, was born Ferdinand Guillaume, and he was a French-born Italian actor and director from the 1910s to the 1960s. He was very popular until the advent of sound (starring in over 300 silent movies, often mocking the bourgeoise and class distinction!), when he was relegated to non-starring roles. Famed Italian director Federico Fellini was a great fan of Polidor's early work and cast him in Le Notti di Cabiria, La Dolce Vita, and 8 1/2, and Pier Paolo Pasolini cast him in Accattone.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this Italian one-panel, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Also note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II Italian poster! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Condition: good to very good. The poster has some darkening, smudges, and scuffs on the folds and in the edges of the borders, but has generally survived in about as nice condition as one could hope after 111 years!
