BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1970 Africa Blood and Guts Original One-Sheet Movie Poster
An original theatrical one-sheet poster for the 1970 United States release of the Italian documentary film Africa Blood and Guts, originally titled Africa Addio. The film was written and directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi. This poster, presented by Jerry Gross and distributed by Cinemation Industries, features a high-contrast graphic design set against a vibrant yellow background. The central imagery consists of a large portrait of a man’s face superimposed with illustrations of African wildlife, including a lion, leopard, and elephant, alongside various figures. Bold promotional text includes slogans such as Every scene looks you straight in the eye …and spits! and This is Africa like it is! Where black is beautiful! Black is ugly! Black is brutal! The credits list Antonio Climati as the photographer and Riz Ortolani as the composer, with general organization by Stanis Nievo. A small box in the upper right corner reads From the men who gave you Mondo Cane. The bottom right margin is marked Printed in U. S. A. and the lower center text notes it as A Rizzoli Film Production (Africa Addio) Technicolor/Techniscope.
Approximate dimensions: 27 x 41 inches.
Condition report:
