MATTEI AFFAIR

Original Belgian 15 1/2 inch x 23 1/2 inch Poster for the 1972 Francesco Rosi Crime Drama THE MATTEI AFFAIR (IL CASO MATTEI) starring Gian Maria Volontè, Luigi Squarzina, Peter Baldwin and Renato Romano.

The story of Enrico Mattei, the founder of the Italian petroleum business. The film is a riveting drama, telling the remarkable story of a man who fought the Fascists and the American oil cartel, created an industrial base for his country, and was probably murdered by U.S. intelligence. Mattei was killed in a plane crash one year before Kennedy’s assassination in Texas, the heart of the American oil industry.

The poster is in very good folded condition with minor creasing along the top edge.
