Seller's Description
Original British 30 inch by 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1975 Miklós Jancsó Hungarian Drama PRIVATE VICES AND PUBLIC VIRTUES (VIZI PRIVATI, PUBBLICHE VIRTU) starring Lajos Balazsovits, Pamela Villoresi, Franco Branciaroli, Therese Ann Savoy and Laura Betti.
”Vizi Privati, Pubbliche Virtù was Jancsó’s fourth film in Italy and is quite unusual in the director’s filmography. It tells the story of Crownprince Rudolf (Lajos Balázsovits), the son and heir of Emperor Franz Joseph who committed suicide when he couldn’t marry his love, Maria Vetsera. In Jancsó’s interpretation, there’s much more to the story: the young prince is a sexual rebel who challenges authority and was thus executed by the court.”
Poster art by Tom William Chantrell (1916 - 2001). One of two giants of British film poster art from the 1950s to mid-1980s the other being the prolific Eric Pulford. Chantrell was born in Ardwick, Manchester, the last of nine children born to James and Emily. After a brief stint at Manchester Art College he secured a job at a local advertising agency, Rydales. In 1933 he moved to London and eventually began work with Bateman Artists who at some time in the 1930s acquired accounts with Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox. After his wartime spell with the Royal Engineers he returned to Batemans who in 1950 were bought out by one of their major clients Allardyce Palmer Ltd., eventually moving to Screen House in Wardour Street. Most of Chantrell’s work at this time was for Warners and Fox. In 1972 he went freelance working with many other smaller and independent film companies until his retirement in 1985 having produced a vast array of film posters and campaigns.
The poster are in fine folded condition.
