BEHIND THE GREAT WALL

Original German 33 inch x 46 inch Poster for the 1958 Carlo Lizzani Documentary BEHIND THE GREAT WALL (LA MURAGLIA CINESE)

In an era when contact with mainland China was next to nothing Carlo Lizzani became the first Western director allowed to film a documentary in the People’s Republic of China with shots of the Great Wall itself, the rolling green hills beyond it, fishing cormorants, a tiger hunt, a ritualistic marriage, harbors, temples, flower gardens and cityscapes.
