Description

Original French movie poster for "Les Gros Malins" (The Big Malins), dated 1969, presented here in its large 120x160 cm format. The visual, typical of 1960s movie posters, stands out with its vibrant red background and a humorous central illustration depicting four caricatured male characters in blue suits, riding an oversized dog. The faces of the main actors are clearly visible and recognizable thanks to the graphic work typical of the era.

In the upper right section, the names of the main actors are printed in capital letters: Francis Blanche, Jacques Jouanneau, Henri Génès, Michel Galabru, and Tina. The movie title "Les Gros Malins" appears large in the center, in a white typography with black outlines, offset and eye-catching, characteristic of the 1960s graphic style.

At the bottom of the poster, the technical credits are printed in black on a red background, notably mentioning Raymond Leboursier (director), Jacques Emmanuel (screenplay and dialogue), as well as the main members of the production team. The mention "EASTMANCOLOR" appears in yellow in the lower right corner, indicating the color technology used for the film.

The poster shows horizontal and vertical folds due to original folding, which is common for this type of vintage poster. No other major defects are visible on the presented side, apart from some slight handling marks or storage marks on the surface, visible from certain angles.

This type of poster is sought after for cinema decoration, scenography, or as a retro wall design element, particularly thanks to its large format and vibrant colors.
