WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART 1990 Clint Eastwood, Marisa Berenson FRENCH POSTER

Original French 47 inch x 63 inch Poster for the 1990 Clint Eastwood Drama WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART, based on the 1953 book of the same name by Peter Viertel and starring Clint Eastwood, Jeff Fahey, George Dzundza, Alun Armstrong and Marisa Berenson.

The film is a thinly disguised account of writer Peter Viertel's experiences while working on the classic 1951 film The African Queen, which was shot on location in Africa at a time when location shoots outside of the United States for American films were very rare. The main character, brash director John Wilson, played by Eastwood, is based on real-life director John Huston. Jeff Fahey plays Pete Verrill, a character based on Viertel. George Dzundza's character is based on African Queen producer Sam Spiegel. Marisa Berenson's character Kay Gibson and Richard Vanstone's character Phil Duncan, are based on Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, respectively.

Poster design by Bill Gold (1921 - 2018). An American graphic designer best known for thousands of film poster designs. Gold worked with many leading directors, including Vincente Minnelli, John Ford and John Huston. But his longest collaboration was with Clint Eastwood. Gold's fruitful relationship with Eastwood began with Dirty Harry (1971), and he gave the actor a gun or a gritty countenance on posters for such films The Enforcer (1976), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985) and Unforgiven (1992).

The poster is in very good folded condition with 3 small pieces of tape wrapped round the bottom edge, a horizontal crease at the top and a 2 inch tear at the top left fold.
