An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures approximately 47" x 63") (Learn More) Il Deserto Rosso (released in the U.S. in 1965 as "Red Desert"), the classic 1964 Michelangelo Antonioni Italian family dysfunctional relationship mental illness melodrama ("Michelangelo Antonioni in his first color film.") starring Monica Vitti, Richard Harris ("[star of 'This Sporting Life']"), Carlo Chionetti (billed as "Carlo De Pra"), Rita Renoir, Xenia Valderi, and Aldo Grotti. Note that this is what's known as a "difficult" movie! It is slow moving with lots of talking and little action of any kind. But, on repeated viewings, it often grows on the viewer until they often consider it to be a masterpiece! Other movies like this include "The Passion of Joan of Arc", "Last Year at Marienbad" and several others. If you like the movies like this you have seen you should definitely also watch this one! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that it has been a vitally important part of movie acting to insure that actors get "proper" billing on a movie poster, ever since the days when actors were first billed on posters! Actors put a lot of importance on how big their credit is, who comes first, etc. In the case of this poster, the posters were initially printed with Richard Harris' name on the left and Monica Vitti's name on the right, but then the studio printed a long thin snipe that reversed the order of the names, and glued them over that credit area of the poster! It seems likely that Monica Vitti rightfully complained that she should come first. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There is a corrective credits snipe over the start of the credits . Learn More about condition grades
