An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 25 1/2" x 38 1/2") (Learn More) Ayn Rand's We the Living, the 1988 Goffredo Alessandrini Italian Russia revolution romantic melodrama ("From the author of The Fountainhead & Atlas Shrugged") starring Alida Valli, Rossano Brazzi, Fosco Giachetti, Emilio Cigoli, and Giovanni Grasso. Note that this was originally a 2-part film titled Noi Vivi and Addio Kira. The films were based on Ayn Rand's novel We The Living, but the rights were never secured because of World War II (WWII), so the movies were made without Rand's consent or knowledge. Rand's novel was critical of the Soviet Union so the film was approved by Mussolini's government, but the movies were also anti-fascist and the film-makers had hidden these parts from the censors. The movies were a great success when they were released, but the government soon banned them and ordered that they be destroyed. Luckily, a set of the original negatives were hidden away. After the war, Rand refused to grant the rights to re-release the movies because of the few pro-fascist additions which had been originally included to appease the censors (though we know of at least one Italian re-release from the 1950s). Eventually, with Rand's approval, the movies were re-edited into this single film and released in 1986. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
