Description
Original 1964 Italian Two-Foglio Poster Folded Fine Plus Condition Art by Sandro Symeoni
Original Italian Two-Foglio (39x55) for the Sergio Leone western, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1967) starring Clint Eastwood, Marianne Koch, and Gian Maria Volonte. Eastwood plays a wandering gunfighter who plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge. Leone had directed films before, but this film was his first foray into his own recognizable style and into a genre that he helped to revolutionize and with which he became forever synonymous. The film also marks the first brilliant score of Ennio Morricone. Unidis is the original Italian distributor and some of the posters have their logo. This poster, also to the very best of our knowledge original, does not. Why some posters have the UNIDIS logo and some do not is unclear. Nevertheless, this poster is generally accepted to be from the first release. Condition is fine plus. This poster is unbacked and would look wonderful if linen-backed. MovieArt Austin guaranteed this poster to be, to the best of our knowledge, a first Italian release poster for this very famous film. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions.
