1960s Films as Colour Posters

The sixties are the decade of new beginnings: New Wave, pop art, new cameras, bolder colours. Films like Breakfast at Tiffany's or Once Upon a Time in the West each have an unmistakable palette, from big-city pastels to the dust of the West. On the poster you can see that colour was still a decision then, not a default. That makes these posters lovely gifts for parents and grandparents who saw these films in the cinema.
