Original Brigitte Bardot Movie Posters

Brigitte Bardot movie posters gather original promotional material from the French cinema icon of 1950s-1960s continental glamour, representing one of European cinema's most transformative stars. Bardot's theatrical campaigns, particularly the French grandes affiches from her peak period, represent the high point of mid-century French poster design and are among the most sought-after pieces in any French cinema collection.

And God Created Woman (1956, directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim) created the international Bardot phenomenon — a film that was scandalous, hugely commercially successful, and directly responsible for the global expansion of French cinema's reach. The French campaign materials from this period, produced in the grande affiche format (47×63), carry the full weight of mid-century French graphic design at its most assured. Louis Malle's A Very Private Affair (1962) and Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt (1963) — the latter also starring Michel Piccoli and Jack Palance from a Moravia novel — brought her into contact with the Nouvelle Vague and produced campaign materials that straddle commercial and art-cinema aesthetics. Her collaborations with Henri-Georges Clouzot, Christian-Jaque, and other major French directors add further range.

Available primarily in French grandes affiches (47×63), Italian foglio, German A1s, and US one-sheets for American releases. Condition runs Fine to Very Fine. Original French one-panel posters from her 1950s and 1960s peak are genuinely scarce and seldom appear in fine condition.
