Original Dassin, Jules Movie Posters

Jules Dassin movie posters span two continents and three decades of crime cinema at its most internationally minded — authentic original prints for the blacklisted Hollywood director who reinvented himself in France and Greece after House Un-American Activities Committee pressure ended his American career. Shop our Jules Dassin collection for original paper from Rififi, Never on Sunday, Topkapi, and his American noirs. The French grande for Rififi (1955) — the heist film that established the genre's template and made Dassin's European reputation — is among the most desirable postwar French grandes in fine condition; the campaign's graphic minimalism suits the film's rigorous formal discipline, and genuine first-release examples are now scarce. Never on Sunday (1960) with Melina Mercouri generated an international campaign of considerable warmth, with the Greek production's original poster artwork widely replicated across export territories. Topkapi (1964) — with Mercouri and Peter Ustinov — produced United Artists campaign materials that represent the Swinging Sixties caper aesthetic at its most exuberant. His earlier American noir productions at MGM and Universal — Brute Force (1947), The Naked City (1948) — produced US one-sheets in the vivid stone-litho technique of that era that are now actively sought as examples of late-40s crime graphic design.
