Original Hossein, Robert Movie Posters

Robert Hossein movie posters from his work as actor and director in French and European productions span crime cinema, adventure, and dramatic production across the 1960s and 1970s — original theatrical paper from one of France's most commercially active screen presences of the period. Hossein worked both in front of and behind the camera in the prolific European co-production market, appearing in films alongside major French stars of the period and directing his own productions that drew on genre cinema and theatrical adaptation. Shop original theatrical materials from his extensive and varied filmography. Hossein's acting work placed him within the mainstream of French and European commercial cinema, appearing alongside Brigitte Bardot, playing significant roles in crime pictures and thrillers, and bringing a physicality and intensity to genre material that made him a reliable draw. His directorial work demonstrated an engagement with grand theatrical material, including a celebrated long-running stage production of Les Misérables that attracted millions of spectators. Original French theatrical materials from Hossein's films reflect the graphic design conventions of French and European cinema promotion in the 1950s through 1970s: strong photographic portraiture, the bold colour of offset and photolithographic printing, and the expressive typographic sensibility that characterised the period's best poster design. Fine-condition materials from his earlier productions are increasingly difficult to source outside specialist French markets. Shop our French Cinema and Thriller collections for related materials.
