Note that this movie, Visconti's first, predated the neorealistic classics, "Open City" and "The Bicycle Thief", and was very influential in the Italian cinema that arose during the end of the Italian participation at the end of World War II.

Also note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Also note that this Italian one-sheet measures 19 1/2" x 27 1/4" [50 x 69 cm]. Finally, note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. UPDATED 02/16/2011: Note that we accidentally originally described this poster as an "Italian one-sheet", but it is of course a "photobusta". The measurements are correct and everything else in the description is correct. Condition: very good. There are light brown stains in the borders around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
