A 1976 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2" [51 x 72 cm]) (Learn More) Africa Addio (released in the U.S. in 1967), the 1966 Gualtiero Jacopetti & Franco E. Prosperi Italian documentary ("Every scene looks you straight in the eye ...and spits!"; "This is Africa like it is! Where black is beautiful! Black is ugly! Black is brutal!"; "A film conceived, written and directed by Jacopetti and Prosperi"; "From the men who gave you Mondo Cane"; "Consumed by savagery! Conceived in blood!"; "Savagery! Brutality! Inhumanity! In bathed the world in blood!"; about Africa's transition from white colonialism to independent black statehood, and all of the violent atrocities that resulted from the sudden change; from the producers of the 'Mondo Cane' movies). Note that this movie had a limited release in the U.S. in 1967 under its original title. In 1970, a distributor re-cut the movie and re-released it in the U.S. under the much more appealing title of "Africa Blood and Guts"! We have never seen or heard of posters from that limited 1967 U.S. release (if anyone has, please send us an image!). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was somewhat tri-folded. What does that mean? Some posters were stored in a tri-folded fashion, but where someone took a group of posters and then tri-folded the entire group. This means that many of the posters have only a slight "waviness" one third of the way from the top and the bottom of the poster, but they are not actual folds. They are normally not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster, but they can be seen from the back of the poster, and they mean that the poster does not lay 100% flat. These "waves" greatly diminish if the poster is put under weight for a time, and become almost completely invisible. Most collectors consider them a very minor defect, much less of a defect than actual foldlines. Also note that this poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine.
