An Original 1964 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Spanish Movie Poster (measures approximately 27" x 39") (Learn More) Los Olvidados (released in English-speaking countries as "The Young and the Damned" and also as "The Forgotten Ones"), the 1950 (released in the U.S. in 1951 [Spanish language] and 1952 [subtitled]) Luis Bunuel Mexican teen juvenile delinquent melodrama (about the many wild Mexican children who roam the streets of Mexico after World War II, living in great poverty, and stealing or doing whatever they could to survive) starring Estela Inda, Miguel Inclan, Alfonso Mejia, Roberto Cobo, and Alma Delia Fuentes. Note that this is widely considered one of the greatest Mexican movies ever, even though it was made by Luis Bunuel, who was from Spain. He filmed the movie in Mexico soon after World War II, and he was obviously greatly influenced by Vittorio De Sica's "Sciuscia" (Shoeshine) from 1946, and perhaps even the Dead End Kid movies of the 1930s. This movie resembles "The Lord of the Flies", in that it shows just how lawless and cruel children can be when they grow up in awful circumstances. It is not an easy movie to watch, but it absolutely should be seen! Note that in 1981, Hector Babenco made the movie "Pixote", which was clearly an homage to this movie.

Artist: Jano Important Added Info: Note that director Luis Bunuel was born in Spain but left during the time of the Spanish Civil War, and moved to the United States. In a few years, he settled in Mexico, where he made many movies, including this one, considered his masterpiece of that period. But it could not be shown in his native Spain until 1964, and this poster is from that first Spanish release! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was folded like a U.S. one-sheet and had tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the right half of the top foldline, with paper loss in the right blank border at the end of that foldline. There was minor wear on the other folds and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
