Bullitt 1969 Italian Locandina Film Poster, Renato Ferrini

About the Item

Original Bullitt 1969 Italian Locandina film poster featuring a wonderful design by Renato Ferrini. In Bullitt, Steve McQueen stars as the eponymous all-guts, no-glory San Francisco cop who becomes determined to find the underworld kingpin that killed the witness in his protection. One of McQueen's most iconic roles. Renato Ferrini (1910–2005) was an Italian painter and graphic artist renowned for his cinematic poster art and illustrative drafts. He became celebrated as a cinematic cartellonista (film poster artist), producing striking, photo‑like portraits for major studios like Warner Bros., Fox, Paramount, and Italnoleggio, working with directors like Fellini, Visconti, De Sica, and Pasolini. A master of precision and softness in his brushwork, Renato Ferrini left a lasting visual legacy through his elegant and memorable designs in both cinema and philatelic art. This original vintage movie poster was folded (as issued) and has been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 13 1/4 x 27 1/2 inches (plus a couple more for linen) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
