7 CAPITAL SINS

£99.50

Original 1963 U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1962 Philippe de Broca, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Demy, Sylvain Dhomme, Max Douy, Jean-Luc Goddard, Edouard Molinaro & Roger Vadim French Comedy 7 CAPITAL SINS (LES SEPT PECHES CAPIAUX) starring Jean-Pierre Aumont, Claude Brasseur, Jean-Claude Brialy, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Jacques Charrier, Eddie Constantine, Jean Desailly, Sami Frey, Michele Giradon, Nicole Mirel, Marie-Jose Nat, Dominique Paturel, Perrette Pradier, Micheline Presle, Claude Rich, Dany Saval, Laurent Terzieff, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marina Vlady and Georges Wilson.

Seven directors each dramatize one of the seven deadly sins in a short film. In “Anger,” a domestic argument over a fly in the Sunday soup escalates into nuclear war. In “Sloth,” a movie star would rather pay someone to tie his shoe than bend over to do it himself, and he can’t be bothered to accept a starlet’s sexual favors. In “Gluttony,” a peasant family on its way to the funeral of a relative who died from indigestion stops regularly to eat and drink en route, arriving in time to eat some more. In “Greed,” a high-class prostitute refunds the price of a cadet’s lottery ticket. In “Pride,” an unfaithful wife finds reason to reform. And so on through lust and envy.

The poster is in very good folded condition with a Canadian censor stamp lower left.
