LE SOUPIRANT

Original Italian 39 inch x 55 inch 2-Fogli Poster for the 1962 Pierre Etaix Comedy LE SOUPIRANT (THE SUITOR), a re-make of Buster Keaton’s silent classic, “Seven Chances” and starring France Arnel, Pierre Étaix, Laurence Lignières, Claude Massot, Denise Peronne and Karin Vesely.

As a tribute to Buster Keaton, Etaix fashioned this lovable story of a privileged yet sheltered young man (Etaix) who, under pressure from his parents, sets out to find a young woman to marry—though he has a hard time tearing his mind away from the famous singer whose face decorates the walls of his bedroom.

Poster art by Rodolfo Gasparri (1928 – 1981). A postwar Italian painter and film poster artist.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
