A modern retelling of the ancient legend of love and passion and violence!"; "Passionate! Volatile! Haunting!"; winner of the Best Foreign Language Academy Award; a re-telling of the Greek myth, updated to the present day and set at the Brazilian Carnival, and featuring black actors in the lead roles) starring Breno Mello (in the title role as Orfeu), Marpessa Dawn (as Eurydice), Marcel Camus, Fausto Guerzoni, Lourdes de Oliveira, and Adhemar Ferreira da Silva (as Death)
Artist: Georges Allard
Important Added Info: Note 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. Finally, note that this poster is virtually identical to that of the original 1959 release, even down to the same coloring (it has a tiny printer number that is different at the bottom that distinguishes it from the original 1959 poster).

Condition: good to very good. There is tattering along the horizontal fold and around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
