Original French movie poster for the 1956 Italian film
Il ferroviere
(aka
Le disque rouge,
Man of Iron
or
The Railroad Man
)
, an acclaimed drama about a railroad train engineer and his family. The movie was directed by Pietro Germi and starred Pietro Germi, Sylva Koscina and Saro Urzi (who was also in
The Godfather
).
Although the film premiered at Cannes in '56, it likely did not see wide release in France until later, possibly even as late as 1965, which is the year it was released in the U.S. This poster is undated, but believed to be printed in '65 or earlier for the first release.
Poster is in
excellent
condition. Minor wear to top left corner and a few smudges in white areas (pictured).
Will ship safely rolled in a heavy-duty tube via USPS Priority Mail.
