Description

Vintage movie poster illustrating the film "On l'appelle Alléluia" (They Call Him Alleluia), released in 1971. This visual features a graphic style typical of 1970s European Westerns, with a dominant bright red background and a large yellow border for the title. The central image depicts an armed male character, wearing a cowboy hat, holding a rifle and a book, while a nun, in a black and white habit, occupies the upper left part of the poster. Several moving black and white characters appear in the background, reinforcing the film's atmosphere of tension and action.

The poster features striking typography, with the title "PILE, JE TE TUE, FACE, TU ES MORT. ON L’APPELLE ALLÉLUIA" (HEADS, I KILL YOU, TAILS, YOU'RE DEAD. THEY CALL HIM ALLELUIA) printed in yellow and orange capital letters on a red background, making it very legible and eye-catching. The names of the main actors, such as George Hilton, Charles Southwood, and Agata Flori, are also visible at the top of the poster. At the bottom, the director Anthony Ascot and composer Stelvio Cipriani are credited, along with the technical specifications "eastmancolor" and "colorscope".

The graphic design alternates between colorful illustration and black and white photography, a common technique for movie posters of this period, accentuating visual contrast and advertising impact. The edges of the poster are highlighted by a double yellow and purple line, typical of large-format cinema posters intended for outdoor display or in cinema lobbies.

The surface of the poster shows prominent creases, visible across its entire width and height, indicating that it was stored folded, as was common practice for distributing movie posters in the 1970s. No snags, tears, or missing parts are visible on the exposed face; the colors remain well saturated, and the text printing is sharp.
