PLAY TIME (1967) 21357

Original French Grande Poster (47x63). Folded. Very Fine.

Original French Grande Poster (47x63) for the Jacques Tati comedy masterpiece, PLAY TIME (1967) starring Tati, Barbara Dennek, Rita Maiden, France Rumilly. Originally shot in 70mm and having almost no dialogue, this hilarious film boasts stunning visuals (which are compromised in smaller formats) and extremely clever use of sound effects. At the time this film was made, it was the most expensive French film ever made. Three years in the making and experiencing numerous setbacks and financial difficulties, the project could only be saved if the film was an overwhelming box office success. It wasn't, and so the film ultimately bankrupted Tati, forcing him to sell the rights to all his films. This original French poster is folded and in very fine condition, showing some very minor signs of use.
