A modern retelling of the ancient legend of love and passion and violence!"; "Passionate! Volatile! 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. We are auctioning both a 1959 original and a 1961 re-release, in separate auctions.
