Pakula post World War II (WWII) romantic melodrama ("Between the innocent, the romantic, the sensual, and the unthinkable. There are still some things we have yet to imagine."; "Based on a novel by William Stryon"; about the tortured relationship between two Nazi concentration camp survivors, and a young man from the South who moves to New York City and finds his life forever changed by his involvement with them and their awful secret) starring Meryl Streep (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Kevin Kline (who certainly deserved an Academy Award), Peter MacNicol, Rita Karin, Josh Mostel, and Josef Sommer (as the narrator). Note that this movie had a limited U.S. release in December of 1982 before receiving a wide release in March of 1983. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Steve Frankfurt & Philip Gips Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28 1/4" x 41 1/4" [72 x 105 cm]). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/4" x 41 1/4" [72 x 105 cm]. Also note that this is an advance one-sheet (note the "Coming soon to a theatre near you" at the bottom of the poster).
