CARMEN JONES (1954; 1955 Swedish release) Poster

Stockholm: Twentieth Century Fox, [1955]. Vintage original 39 x 27″ (99 x 69 cm.) one sheet poster, Sweden. Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, dir: Otto Preminger; Twentieth Century Fox. Conserved on archival linen, with routine touch-ups to address minor tears and chipping, near fine.

Dorothy Dandridge‘s greatest and most iconic role.

This Swedish poster, with a design entirely different from its U.S. equivalent, has a large image of her, hands on hips and smiling broadly, alongside designer Saul Bass’ image of the flaming red rose (which occurs in the film’s credits).
