An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Kraftbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (measures 39" x 55") (Learn More) Riso Amaro, the 1948 (released in the U.S. in 1950 as "Bitter Rice") Giuseppe De Santis Italian romantic rice-farming romantic love triangle crime murder melodrama ("An earthy drama of human passions among women rice workers in the Po Valley."; "Sizzling... sensational!") starring Silvana Mangano (billed as "Introducing Silvana Mangano"; "A fresh and unaffected actress with a primitive beauty!"; "that's Silvana Mangano the most seductive siren since Salome!"), Doris Dowling, Vittorio Gassman, Raf Vallone, and Checco Rissone NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Averardo Ciriello Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! This poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Also note that this Italian one-panel measures 39" x 55" and is folded. Condition: good. Note that after the poster was glued to the kraft backing, the borders of the kraft paper were folded over and glued to the front borders of the poster. Someone removed a small amount of the kraft paper from the back of the poster, and also put a fair amount of clear tape on the back of some of the borders. The entire poster has darkened somewhat. But I feel certain that a talented restorer could surely remove this poster from the backing, lighten it through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the poster would look great, and there would likely only be minor touch up on the folds and in the borders.
