1950s Films as Colour Posters

The fifties bring Technicolor to cinemas: rich reds, deep blues, sunshine yellow. Films like Vertigo or Rear Window have colour worlds you recognise instantly, and on the poster they turn into stripes that look almost like a fabric pattern. Beside them stand great black-and-white classics such as Seven Samurai. A mix suits group posters: one barcode in colour, one in grey. A gift for people who value retro not as fashion but as quality.
