My Foolish Heart, the 1950 Mark Robson ("who gave you 'Champion' and 'Home of the Brave'") romantic love affair tragic melodrama ("Some men can say more with a touch than others with a fierce embrace"; "'I was a nice girl - wasn't I?'"; "Please wait until you know the Truth"; "Wait until you know The Truth about 'My Foolish Heart'"; "Based on a Story in the New Yorker by J.D. Salinger"; about a woman who has an affair with a man and becomes pregnant, and the man is killed in World War II, so the woman marries a man she doesn't love so that her child will have a name and a father, but she is very unhappy and becomes an alcoholic) starring Dana Andrews, Susan Hayward (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Kent Smith, Lois Wheeler, Jessie Royce Landis, Robert Keith, and Gigi Perreau. Note that this movie was based on the story "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut", written by J.D. Salinger, best known as the ultra reclusive author of "The Catcher in the Rye". This was the only one of Salinger's stories which he allowed to be adapted into a movie (he so hated what Hollywood did to his story that he has refused to allow any other of his works to be adapted as movies, and he has a stipulation in his will to keep that going after his death, but who knows if that is possible?).

Artist: Giorgio Olivetti
Important Added Info: Note that Italian posters from the first few years after World War II are among the most rare posters there are! Apparently, there were still major paper shortages in Italy, and few posters were printed, and most were recycled. This is an extremely rare first release Italian poster from 1950, which we have only auctioned once before.
