It presents Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in George Cukor's adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe musical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Jack L. Warner for Warner Bros., \u003cem\u003eMy Fair Lady\u003c\/em\u003e premiered in New York on 21 October 1964 and won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Rex Harrison. Two of those awards went to Cecil Beaton, for costume design and, with Gene Allen, for art direction; his Edwardian costumes for Hepburn, above all the black-and-white Ascot gown, became one of the best-known episodes in the relationship between cinema and fashion. In Italy, film publicity was not simply adapted from American material but commissioned from local painters. Giuliano Nistri (Rome, 1926 – Anzio, 2022) worked for Warner Bros., Paramount, Titanus and Lux among others and is credited with around 2,500 posters over more than three decades, including Hitchcock's \u003cem\u003eDial M for Murder\u003c\/em\u003e and Antonioni's \u003cem\u003eLa Notte\u003c\/em\u003e. His brother Enzo Nistri painted the Italian artwork for \u003cem\u003eBreakfast at Tiffany's\u003c\/em\u003e. For \u003cem\u003eMy Fair Lady\u003c\/em\u003e he worked in a softer, more delicate register than in his dramatic chiaroscuro posters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster is a printed original from the film's Italian release, with painted artwork by Nistri centred on Hepburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItalian posters are collected separately from American and British material because they carry original painted artwork rather than adapted photography. This one connects three subjects of lasting interest: Audrey Hepburn, Cecil Beaton's costume design and the Italian school of poster painting. It will appeal to collectors of film and fashion ephemera and to anyone assembling material on Hepburn or Beaton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Archivary ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58079645598076,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/9433\/2408\/files\/IMG_0943.jpg?v=1793442273","url":"https:\/\/www.thearchivary.com\/en-in\/products\/1964-my-fair-lady-italian-original-cinema-poster-giuliano-nistri-audrey-hepburn","provider":"The Archivary ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
