Title: Swedish Film Posters
Post by: erik1925 on February 19, 2013, 02:17:38 PM
Sweden has produced many wonderful and colorful posters over the years, with art done by those such as Erik Rohman.

Here are a few, to start, that have caught my eye, over time:

Jeff, this is such a great thread. Great Posters. BUT, BUT

I AM SORRY, BUT I ABSOLUTELY HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE IT- CANNOT STAND THIS POSTER OMG IT IS SO UGLY.

Did I sound remotely convincing? Did I? Fredric March, this film is one of my all time favourites. I think I have watched this like 899-980 times.

10+ Jeff.

That was the element that drew me to the poster initially.

And I think the color combination used by Stilling works great, too.

Greta Garbo Swedish film festival poster.  Also, a close-up of the artist's signature.  The two sales records for this poster I found listed the poster as 1) 1929 or 2) 1930s.  Anyone have evidence either way?  Is the evidence right in front of me?

Just based on MGM running a type of festival for Garbo, I would take a guess and say this is from sometime in the 1930s. Only because I wonder if MGM would have put such a film festival together for her early MGM silents.

It's a beautiful poster, okie. No doubt about that. clap clap

Thanks for your expertise, Jeff!  I sure would have liked to have seen that festival.

The poster says that all her films belong to MGM.

So I don’t think there was an actual festival, just a poster advertising Garbo as their “property” so to speak.

For an early Deborah Kerr flicker, made when she was 19 years old. It was her first starring role.

LOVE ON THE DOLE (1941)

When looked at up close, the image of Kerr looks like it might have been done in charcoal originally.
