This is a poster that appears to be a promotional poster for the 1930 Film Morroco (Marocko). This may be Danish and looks to be from the 1950's or 60's. The poster is 26 1/2" X 39 and is Linen backed. In my research, there was nothing that I could find that matched this exact style or image. The Films star, Marlene Dietrich is prominently featured, which again makes it feel as much like a promotion for the actress as for the film The poster is in overall, good condition. There are a few minor imperfections. There are also splashes of in the top banner but it looks like this may be part of the design and not an imperfection. (From Wikipedia) Morocco is a 1930 American pre-Code romantic drama film directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, and Adolphe Menjou. Based on the novel Amy Jolly (the on-screen credits state, "From the play 'Amy Jolly'") by Benno Vigny and adapted by Jules Furthman, the film is about a cabaret singer and a Legionnaire who fall in love during the Rif War, but their relationship is complicated by his womanizing and the appearance of a rich man who is also in love with her. The film is most famous for the scene in which Dietrich performs a song dressed in a man's tailcoat and kisses another woman (to the embarrassment of the latter), both of which were rather scandalous for the period. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards in the categories of Best Actress in a Leading Role (Marlene Dietrich), Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Director (Josef von Sternberg). In 1992, Morocco was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" For More information on the Film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco_(film)
