Italian neo-realism pimp-and-his-prostitute romantic melodrama (about a pimp who lives off of a prostitute, but she is arrested, and he meets a beautiful innocent young female worker, and he wants to make her a prostitute as well, but he decides to try to reform and support her instead, with tragic consequences) starring Franco Citti (in the title role as Vittorio 'Accattone' Cataldi), Franca Pasut, Silvana Corsini, Paola Guidi, and Adriana Asti. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Sandro Symeoni Important Added Info: Note that this poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie, is extremely rare. We have only auctioned it once before, and that example was not linenbacked and only in "good" condition, and it auctioned for $760! Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of surface paper loss on parts of the vertical fold, including some in the right center of the man's face (see our image). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer left the tiny surface paper loss described above alone. The new owner can decide if they feel if it is distracting, and it would be very easy for any talented restorer to touch up those tiny areas without re-backing the poster.
