An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More)

John Huston's We Were Strangers, the 1949 John Huston Cuba revolutionary romantic crime melodrama ("Explosive in its emotional impact... it emerges as the most fascinating picture of the year!"; "An explosive story of violent lives... Lived dangerously!"; "China Valdes...a woman of violent hates and fierce love..."; "Tony Fenner...a tough guy with a conscience..."; about a Cuban revolutionary and the sister of an executed revolutionary who come together to try to kill top Cuban officials at a state funeral) starring Jennifer Jones (as China Valdes), John Garfield (as Tony Fenner), Pedro Armendariz, Gilbert Roland, Ramon Novarro, Wally Cassell, and David Bond. Note that this movie was very political, and it was unusual in that both the left wing of the United States and the right wing strongly criticized the movie, and it was a failure at the box office, and was withdrawn soon after its first release!

Artist: Franco Fiorenzi
Important Added Info: 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.
