IL PORTIERE DI NOTTE / DER NACHTPORTIER / THE NIGHT PORTER (1974) FIRST GERMAN RELEASE POSTER,1975
SIGNED BY CHARLOTTE RAMPLING
33 x 23 in. (84 x 58 cm)
This drama was directed and co-written by Liliana Cavani, and stars Dirk Bogarde, Charlotte Rampling and Philippe Leroy. After a chance meeting at a Viennese hotel thirteen years after World War II, between a concentration camp survivor and her torturer, now the hotel porter, they recommence their sadomasochistic relationship.
This poster was signed by Charlotte Rampling at the BFI, London when she was promoting her film 45 Years. Mr. Sohal had stuck post-it notes over the picture of her for modesty, but when showing her the poster, the post-it notes fell off. She burst out laughing and could not stop. She said that this had made her day ! It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.
