Note that star Maria Callas was a legendary opera singer. She retired in the mid 1960s and planned to marry mega rich Aristotle Onassis, but he dumped her for Jackie Kennedy, and a despondent Callas made this movie, a non-singing role, and her only movie, but it did not do well at the box office, and she made an attempt to resume her opera career, but her voice failed her.

Important Added Info: Note that these are "country of origin" posters for this partially Italian movie! Also note that these posters were folded at one time but have been laying flat for a long time and they will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away earlier this year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca. Condition: very good. There is a series of small holes that form numbers in the lower edge of the title, typical of Italian posters of this period. The posters are otherwise in pretty nice condition.
