A Coeur Joie



France - 1967
Starring - Brigette Bardot and Laurent Terzieff who died this year (2010)

Another one that caught my eye because of the artwork. I wish I knew who the artist was, it's classic late 1960's early 70's design with those coarse brushstrokes forming the background. Love it. Also, check out the format, Eastmancolor/"Franscope".
Again I don't remember where I got these Boardot posters, sorry.

Une Parisienne


France/Italy - 1957
Director - Michel Boisrond
Starring - Brigette Bardot

I like this poster for both obvious and not so obvious reasons. The latter because of the uncluttered design which obviously focuses even more attention on the focal point. A lot of modern posters are really dark, even black, with a bright or highlighted central image. I like the posters from this era because they're bright and use a lot of negative space instead of filling it up with a totalizing oppressive darkness. The Longest Day had a great poster that demonstrates almost perfectly what I'm talking about with empty space.

Les Petroleuses


France/Italy - 1971
Director - Christian-Jacque

I was attracted to this poster by the western theme combined with the name of Claudia Cardinale whom I first became familiar with in Once Upon A Time In The West.

Cette Sacree Gamine


France - 1956
Director - Michel Boisrond
Starring - Brigette Bardot

I've never seen a Bardot film in  my life, but I was hunting for some other poster images online and ran across these. Damn if I can remember where I got 'em.
