Roger Soubie created one of the best looking posters on this landmark title for the film's 1953 re-release in France. The film only had its first release in France in 1951.

Following the publication of Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel, the competition to obtain screen rights for its cinematic adaptation was ferocious and the creation of the screenplay a massive task undertaken by several writers including F. Scott Fitzgerald. The result was an unprecedented commercial success, a staggering representation of Hollywood glamour of the 30s which overwhelmed audiences with lavish sets and costumes.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor restoration to folds.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
