Fan-Fan the Tulip - Original Russian Movie Poster

Photo-collage poster designed to promote Christian-Jaque’s hugely popular swashbuckling adventure in Russian cinemas, starring Gerard Philipe and Gina Lollobrigida. Set in eighteenth-century France, the film follows the irrepressible Fanfan through romance, military adventure and a succession of comic exploits. A major international success and an enormous hit with Soviet audiences, the film won Best Director at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival. This rare small-format poster features a lively monochrome photographic composition typical of Soviet cinema advertising of the period.
