Paris Top Secret

Paris: Belga Films, 1969. Original French moyenne (medium) poster for the 1969 Belgian-French film.

This color film covers juvenile delinquents in Paris, and the poster boasts "the devil's wives," "nudists," "lost dogs in Paris," "the kissometer," "crocodiles in a bathtub," "prohibited ceremonies," and "tribute to Sade."

22.5 x 30.5 inches, folded two times as issued. Brief edgewear, and two central pinholes, else Near Fine. Uncommon.
