Quattro Fogli poster, linen backed, unframed: 79 x 55 in. (201 x 140 cm)
Formerly from the collection of an Italian gentleman who worked for the printers, and kept the poster from when it was first printed
Audrey Hepburn The Paramount Years, Boxtree, 2006, p. 25
This poster was printed in two sheets and designed to be pasted onto billboards. Therefore only unused examples survived.
Exceptionally rare Italian poster that hardly ever surfaces.
This romantic comedy was directed and produced by William Wyler, and stars Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. Hepburn won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. The film also won two other Oscars for the screenplay and costume design.
