Breakfast at Tiffany's 1961 Italian Billboard 220"x114" VF 8 Audrey Hepburn

Description

Breakfast at Tiffany's (Paramount, 1961). Folded, Very Fine.
Italian 24 - Fogli (220" X 114" approx.) Ercole Brini Artwork.
Already long since established as a star, Blake Edwards' rendition of Truman Capote's novella elevated Audrey Hepburn into the cinematic icon she is today. Though Capote initially protested Hepburn's casting, strongly advocating that Marilyn Monroe should get the role of his bubbly socialite, Hepburn turned in one of the most memorable performances of her lifetime, more than worthy of her Oscar nomination. This stunning Italian 24 Fogli shows off a beautiful portrait of Hepburn by one of the best artists in the business, Ercole Brini. Printed in 12 panels each measuring 38" X 55", this is a large 9 feet by 18 feet, unused billboard poster with limited production with a high attrition rate. Those used, were pasted on billboards, and then a week later, a different title would go up, the original poster being lost forever.
