5y119 BOY FRIEND ItalUS teaser 1sh ’71 directed by Ken Russell.
An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Teaser One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26 3/4″ x 39″ [68 x 99 cm]).
Important Added Info: Please note that this is one of a series of special teaser one-sheets (note the complete lack of credits on the poster) printed in Italy for use in the U.S. (it reads “Printed in Italy – by Rotolitografica – Roma” on the back of the upper right corner). Also note that this poster measures 26 3/4″ x 39″ [68 x 99 cm], but it has not been trimmed.
It is that all of these one-sheets (which date from 1967 to 1973) were never folded, which is VERY UNUSUAL for pre-1980 posters. They were found together, and you likely could never find another example of these posters that were never folded. We are 100% certain they are authentic one-sheets that were printed between 1967 and 1973!
Condition: very good.
