Original Alain Delon Movie Posters

Alain Delon movie posters defined the visual vocabulary of French commercial cinema for more than two decades — authentic original prints featuring the face that was simultaneously the most beautiful and the most dangerous in European film. Delon's career spans French crime cinema, Italian art film, and international co-production, each phase producing campaign materials of the highest quality. The Jean-Pierre Melville crime films are the most actively collected. Original French grandes for Le Samouraï (1967) — Delon as the lone assassin, the film that codified the cool criminal archetype in European cinema — are among the most requested items in French film art collecting. Le Cercle rouge (1970) and Un flic (1972) extended this collaboration and produced materials of comparable rarity. The Italian period produced equally significant material. Rocco and His Brothers (1960) and The Leopard (1963) — both directed by Luchino Visconti, with Burt Lancaster in the latter — are among the most important Italian films of their decade, and their campaign materials reflect Visconti's standards of absolute pictorial quality. Buy original Italian 2-fogli for The Leopard and you're acquiring one of the great pieces of postwar Italian cinema advertising art. Fine originals in any format are now genuinely scarce and seldom appear at auction. Purple Noon (Plein Soleil, 1960) — the first screen adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley — produced French and Italian materials that are now among the most sought-after Delon items of the early period.
