About the Item

The 1966 original movie poster by Ghirardi for the French release of Une rousse qui porte bonheur (Spinout), directed by Edward Small and starring Elvis Presley, is a vibrant and dynamic piece of cinematic advertising. Reflecting the energy and charm of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, this poster captures the essence of 1960s pop culture with its bold design and playful imagery. The poster’s central focus is Elvis Presley, exuding charisma in his role as Mike McCoy, a carefree racecar driver and rock musician. Surrounding him are vibrant illustrations of fast cars, glamorous women, and musical elements, evoking the film’s mix of action, romance, and music. The title Une rousse qui porte bonheur (A Redhead Who Brings Luck) emphasizes the romantic intrigue, referencing Shelley Fabares’s character, Cynthia, one of the three women vying for McCoy’s attention. Designed by the French artist Ghirardi, the poster uses bold, saturated colors and a playful composition to appeal to Elvis fans and filmgoers alike. The typography is dynamic, complementing the visual energy of the design, while the inclusion of Elvis with his guitar reinforces his dual identity as both actor and music icon. Spinout (as it was titled in English) was one of several light-hearted musicals that showcased Elvis Presley’s talent and screen presence. This French poster, however, adds a unique artistic flair, making it a standout piece of international film advertising. Today, the Une rousse qui porte bonheur poster is highly collectible, valued not only for its connection to Elvis Presley but also for its stylish 1960s design, which reflects the era’s aesthetic trends and the global influence of the King.
