MAN OF STRAW

Original Russian 29 1/2 inch x 40 inch Poster for the 1961 Pietro Germi Drama L’UOMO DI PAGLIA (MAN OF STRAW) starring Pietro Germi, Luisa Della Noce, Saro Urzi, Edoardo Nevola and Franca Bettola.

Germi himself plays the leading role, a young husband and father named Andrea Zaccardi. When he falls in love with another woman (Franca Bettoja), Zaccardi begins to neglect his family. Things get worse when his emotionally unstable mistress commits suicide. Though his wife and son forgive him, Zaccardi somehow knows that his life has forever been altered, and that neither he nor his family will ever truly be happy again.
