Description

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (PEA, 1966). Italian Locandina (13" X 27").
Sergio Leone's final film in his "Man With No Name" trilogy, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is still considered one of the greatest Western films ever produced, making posters from this film highly desirable. But what makes this piece so unique is that it is an original release, country-of-origin poster far different from anything used for the subsequent American release. Stars Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach are boldly featured on a silver background, with a Civil War battle scene offset to the right, a key plot device in the film. This Italian locandina designed by Franco Fiorenzi was used only for the Rome premiere and its limited run in that city. This unrestored poster has pinholes in the image and borders as well as light staining and wrinkling. There also is a tape stain in the upper portion of the image. This is a spectacular piece from one of the most important movies of a generation and a MUST HAVE addition to any Western collection. This item is from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the upcoming film poster book, from Palace Press International entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON". Folded, Fine.
