Original Marcello Mastroianni Movie Posters

Marcello Mastroianni movie posters are among the most elegant and desirable items in Italian cinema art collecting — authentic original prints from the career of the actor who was, for a decade and a half, simply the face of world cinema. Mastroianni defined the romantic lead in Italian art cinema and romantic comedy, bringing an ironic intelligence to roles that a less nuanced actor would have played straight. His collaborations with Federico Fellini produced the most iconic Italian poster art of the 1960s. Original 2-fogli for La Dolce Vita (1960) and 8½ (1963) feature Mastroianni in images that have become shorthand for a specific kind of mid-century European cool. These are available to buy in both Italian format and the international variants produced for French, Spanish, and American theatrical release. Divorce Italian Style (1961) — his Oscar-nominated comic performance, playing a Sicilian aristocrat plotting his wife's murder — generated one of the most graphically cheerful campaigns in Italian cinema advertising, a one-sheet that sells the film's dark premise as light comedy with considerable skill. Marriage Italian Style (1964) with Sophia Loren, and A Special Day (1977) with Loren and Ettore Scola, represent different phases of his career but equally strong collecting interest. Fine flat 2-fogli and Italian originals are genuinely scarce and difficult to source.

All Film/Art Gallery movie posters and items are authenticated originals.
