Description

Vintage original 24 x 33.5 in. Danish stone lithograph poster
from the classic 1960's action western film,
DJANGO,
an Italian-Spanish co-production
directed by Sergio Corbucci
. Franco Nero stars as Django, a coffin-dragging gunslinger who, along with a half-breed prostitute (Loredana Nusciak), becomes embroiled in a bitter feud between a Klan of Southern racists and a band of Mexican Revolutionaries.
Issued for the film's original theatrical release in
Denmark
by Cawall-Film, the image features fantastic artwork depicting a huge close shot of
Franco Nero
as Django as his pistol comes into view along with a fight scene at the right. Printed by Parrot-Litho,
this poster is a stone lithograph, so it features beautiful rich colors and very fine detail
. Folded as originally issued, this vintage original Danish poster is unrestored in very fine+ condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. The color tints are super-saturated without any signs of fading. A spectacular image in spectacular unrestored condition.
The title "Django" is a reference to renowned jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, who had a crippled hand. Viewers at the time would have been aware of this allusion.
The graphic violent content of the film led to its being banned in several countries, and it was rejected by the UK until 1993. It was not rated in the US. The film spawned hundreds of unofficial sequels. Some incorrectly--and unauthorized--had "Django" in the title, so as to cash in on the original. The film was so popular in Germany that almost every Franco Nero western there, bears the "Django" name.
