Auction History Result 6k0356 WOMAN OF THE RIVER French 24x32 1955 La Donna del fiume, sexy Sophia Loren, rare! Date Sold 5/9/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1955 (from the first release of this movie in France) Vintage Theatrical Folded French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 23 3/4" x 31 1/2" [60 x 80 cm]) (Learn More) La Donna del Fiume (released in the U.S. in 1956 as "Woman of the River"), the 1954 Mario Soldati Italian/French crime melodrama ("Sophia Loren is all woman in Woman of the River") starring Sophia Loren ("The anAtomic Bomb from Italy"), Gerard Oury, Lise Bourdin, Rik Battaglia, Giorgio Bassani, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Florestano Vancini, Antonio Altoviti, and Mario Soldati. Note that this is one of the many early movies that Sophia Loren appeared in in the early 1950s. After it was released in 1954, she did not gain widespread international notice until the following year, and it was not until 1956 that this was released in the U.S., as "Woman of the River". After she became a superstar in 1957 with "Boy on a Dolphin", the movie was released again in the U.S. So there are both 1956 and 1957 U.S. posters from this movie, and it had an entirely different ad campaign each time!

Artist: Georges Kerfyser Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this very rare poster in all our years of auctioning (and the last one sold for $225)! Note also that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially French movie! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. There is some darkening around the edges and foldlines, typical of vintage French posters and it has some slight discoloration scattered in various areas (see our image). There are paint stains on back at lower left and upper center that slightly bleed through to the front. There are tears of varying lengths around the edges and several areas of separation along portions of the vertical foldline and several defects are backed with tape. There is also a light diagonal crease across the credit block at the bottom. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
