BACHELOR OF HEARTS 1958 Hardy Kruger, Sylvia Syms UK 1-SHEET POSTER

Original British 27 inch x 40 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1958 Wolf Rilla Comedy BACHELOR OF HEARTS starring Hardy Kruger, Sylvia Syms, Ronald Lewis, Eric Barker, Miles Malleson, Jeremy Burnham, John Richardson and Barbara Steele..

Rank flirted with a series of German actors in the 1950s, and achieved particular success with Horst Buchholz in Tiger Bay and Hardy Kruger in The One That Got Away. This is Kruger's follow-up to his hit, a rather charming romantic comedy, lovingly photographed on Cambridge locations by the great cameraman Geoffrey Unsworth, directed by the talented Wolf Rilla, and aided by a lovely performance from co-star Sylvia Syms. Today these gauche student antics look a little daft, but they are neatly depicted here by a pair of young screenwriters who have since become much more famous: Leslie Bricusse, distinguished co-writer of Stop the World I Want to Get Off, and Frederic Raphael, who collected an Oscar for Darling and worked on the Stanley Kubrick sizzler Eyes Wide Shut.

The poster is in fine folded condition.
