Hotel Paradiso Vintage Movie Poster, with Alec Guinness & Gina Lollobrigida
Hotel Paradiso is a clever comedy with a great plot. Playwright Monsieur Feydeau is staying in the Parisian Hotel Paradiso. He needs to write a new play, but has writer’s block. He takes the opportunity to observe his fellow guests: Monsieur Boniface, henpecked by his domineering wife, and Marcelle, the beautiful but neglected wife of Henri, a building inspector. They are having an affair. Henri is sent to the hotel to investigate rumors of ghosts (which turn out to be caused by drains). The two lovers continue their affair! In the’by-the-hour’ hotel, there are two husbands and one wife, plus Henri’s nephew and Boniface’s maid, who are also having an affair. All these events provide the playwright with the material for his play, which becomes the success of the next season. Fan-favorite painter Frank Frazetta supplied the art for this great poster that is just a step away from a madcap. Parody of a movie in the first place. The poster is numbered: 66 of 271.
