Quasimodo

HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME 1sh 1957 Anthony Quinn as Quasimodo, sexy Gina Lollobrigida!An Original 1957 Vintage Theatrical One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27″ x 41″ [69 x 104 cm]) Notre-Dame de Paris (released in the U.S. in 1957 as “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, and as “Victor Hugo’s Hunchback of Paris”), the 1956 Jean Delannoy French/Italian Paris France Notre Dame Cathedral romantic religious historical horror melodrama (“All the might, the mystery, the macabre passion of an earth-shaking novel! Aflame with the fire of Filmdom’s most sensuous beauty!”; adapted from the classic novel by Victor Hugo) starring Gina Lollobrigida (as Esmerelda), Anthony Quinn (in the title role as Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame), Jean Danet, Alain Cuny, Robert Hirsch, Danielle Dumont, Valentine Tessier, Roger Blin, Marianne Oswald, Pierre Pieral, Jean Tissier, Camille Guerini, Jacques Hilling, and Roland BaillyImportant Added Info: Note that this poster has something VERY UNUSUAL about it. What is that? The person who owned it had a home movie theater, and they had a large collection of one-sheets, and they would display them when they showed the movie, and they needed a way to protect the posters while they were being handled, and keep them from being damaged while on display. He came up with a solution that we have not seen before. He had a thin sheet of laminate plastic placed over the BACK of each one-sheet, BUT NOT ON THE FRONT (as is normally done when laminating the poster). If you have ever seen “laminated” posters, they are often covered with very thick plastic material on both sides. THE LAMINATE PLASTIC USED HERE IS A THIN MATERIAL. While we have never seen this before, it actually works well! The front of the poster is no different then it was, but the plastic on the back greatly helps protect the poster from tears or other defects (this is the same principle that was used decades ago when they would kraftback posters moving from theater to theater, and as with kraftbacking, the posters with this laminate plastic on the back CAN be folded as normal, as this poster was). WE DON’T KNOW HOW EASY OR HARD IT WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC FROM THE BACK (although there are a few where the plastic is separating, indicating it surely CAN be done), but the buyer of this poster will have two options. They can either keep the poster exactly as is, and if they display it, no one will even know about the plastic laminate on the back, or they can have a restorer remove it. Either way, DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT HAS THIS ON THE BACK (but NOT on the front).Condition: good. The poster has laminate plastic on the back only (see above: but NOT on the front). It has some slight discoloration in the lower right blank border.Storyline Paris, 1482. Today is the festival of the fools, taking place like each year in the square outside Cathedral Notre Dame. Among jugglers and other entertainers, Esmeralda, a sensuous gypsy, performs a bewitching dance in front of delighted spectators. From up in a tower of the cathedral, Frollo, an alchemist, gazes at her lustfully. Later in the night, Frollo orders Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer and his faithful servant, to kidnap Esmeralda. But when the ugly freak comes close to her, he is touched by the young woman’s beauty.All posters will shipped rolled even if the poster was folded, refolding the poster could cause damage to the fold lines.
