An ultra rare 1969 vintage Italian one sheet poster for the film Che! Directed by Richard Fleischer directed the historical drama which is based on the real life of the famed Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara. The film follows Che (Omar Sharif) as he joins the conflict in Cuba during the 1950s. Working his way up in the ranks, Guevara eventually becomes the right-hand man to Fidel Castro (Jack Palance), who is determined to overthrow the Cuban dictatorship.
This rich and vibrant artwork was created by Italian artist Giuliano Nistri and printed in Italy, but for an English speaking U.S audience. Its an advance poster intended to tease the film before its general release.

CONDITION
Excellent condition. There are two light horizontal fold lines. There is some minor paper creasing on the left and right white boarders and a light scuff mark in the green colour above the head, which is barely noticeable when displayed. There is some light paper creasing over the moustache of Che, but all these small issues are barely noticeable, especially once it's framed.
