Description

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers, 1946). Italian 2 - Foglio (39" X 55").
Howard Hawks directs this wonderfully complicated film noir based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. Never mind that the storyline was challenging to follow, this film is a true classic, providing a stellar setting to showcase the electric rapport between stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. As one of Bogart's most popular films, paper from this title is always highly desirable. Offered here is a treasured Italian 2-folio, with stirring artwork by Luigi Martinati. Restoration has the piece displaying beautifully, addressing fold wear, tears in the corners that do not affect the artwork, a vertical fold in the bottom, and missing paper in the right border. A marvelous film with a poster to match! Fine+ on Linen.
