Original Damned Movie Posters

The Damned movie posters from Luchino Visconti's 1969 epic of Nazi corruption within a German industrial dynasty are among the most dramatically composed original poster art of that year — authentic prints for the Warner Bros./Pegaso campaign that set the film's operatic visual scale against typographic authority of equal weight. Shop our The Damned collection for the full range of international campaign variants. Original US roadshow one-sheets for The Damned — featuring Dirk Bogarde, Ingrid Thulin, and Helmut Berger — differ from the subsequent general-release versions in their oversize format and reserved-seat booking information, making them the most desirable of the various formats produced. The international campaign was extensive, reflecting the film's co-production status and its reception across European art cinema circuits. Italian 2-fogli and fotobuste sets were produced for the domestic market where Visconti's name carried major commercial weight; French grandes featured the same iconic imagery in the horizontal grande format; German one-sheets were produced for the market most directly addressed by the film's subject matter. British quad versions adopt a characteristically restrained horizontal composition. Japanese B2 posters for Visconti's work are consistently among the most beautifully designed in any international market for Italian cinema, and the B2 for The Damned is no exception. Fine flat roadshow one-sheets are genuinely scarce; the French campaign emphasises the Visconti name over the subject matter.
