ROSE, THE (1979) 30200 Movie Poster (15x22) French Affiche Bette Midler Alan Bates Mark Rydell

Original French14x22 Poster Rolled Very Fine Condition

Original Twentieth Century Fox French affiche poster (15x22) for the film THE ROSE (1979) directed by Mark Rydell and starring Bette Midler, Frederic Forrest and Alan Bates. Originally THE ROSE was conceived as a biopic of legendary rock/blues singer Janis Joplin. But the energy and direction of the film was not really capturing the Joplin phenomenon and Midler's role became one of a fictional self-destructive singer. Forrest plays her lover and Bates her manager in a sort of A STAR IS BORN type melodrama. This poster was used in a theater in Quebec and it has a provincial censor stamp on it. This could be removed, but it is advised that that be done by a professional paper conservationist. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this poster is authentic. MovieArt Austin does not sell reproductions.
