FOUNTAINHEAD, THE (1949) 25624

Warner Brothers Original Italian Four Foglio Poster 79x55 Linen backed Very Fine

Original Italian Four Foglio Poster for the Warner Brothers film THE FOUNTAINHEAD starring Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal. Director King Vidor was tapped to bring Ayn Rand's novel to the screen. This might have been more easily said than done, and the movie relies more on the potboiler passions between Cooper and Neal. In life as well as on the screen, they were carrying on - dare we say - a torrid affair. And torrid is certainly the emotion that the great Italian artist Luigi Martinati evokes on this large -ormat poster. Cooper looks ravishing where as Neal appears - at least on this poster - merely ravished. The poster has been beautifully restored and linen-backed. By any OBJECTIVE standard a very nice poster indeed. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions and we guarantee that this poster is absolutely the authentic, first-release Italian four-foglio.
