An exceptionally stylish original British Double Crown cinema poster for The Boy Friend (1971), directed by the visionary British filmmaker Ken Russell and starring Twiggy in her feature-film debut.
Featuring a beautiful Art Deco-inspired portrait of Twiggy surrounded by elaborate Busby Berkeley-style dance sequences, aeroplanes and geometric silver and blue rays, this striking design perfectly captures the glamour and exuberance of the Roaring Twenties.
Based on Sandy Wilson's stage musical, the film follows an understudy who unexpectedly finds herself taking the leading role in a theatrical production. Ken Russell transforms the story into a spectacular musical fantasy, celebrating the extravagant choreography and visual style of Hollywood's golden age.
Twiggy's distinctive appearance and the poster's elegant pastel colours make this a particularly appealing piece of British cinema and fashion history.
Printed in England by W. E. Berry Ltd of Bradford in folded condition with two small 1/2 inch border tears at the bottom edge that have been repaired with archival tape to the reverse. The artwork is by Philip Castle.
