American Vintage Movie Posters

Some believe that movie posters communicate the essence of the film. Well, sometimes this is true. At other times the poster and film are tied closely together and speak with one voice, both summarizing the spirit of the movie. At other times the film and poster are not tied at all together.

What American vintage movie posters do portray is history, social and economic trends over time.

The history of the movie poster is the ongoing story of the link between cinema and society. There is a craving for the American fare, for even in America-loathing France, oversized movie posters adorn the lobby of the European Conservetoire du Cinema!

D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. de Mille paved the way for feature films. He became famous as a director with his 12 reel epic, The Birth of a Nation. Most of his films addressed American's most explosive issues. He also made himself a "star" by being the first director to prominently print his name on the movie poster.

de Mille distinguished himself by making large-scale old fashioned religious epics beginner with Cleopatra and ending with The Ten Commandments (1959). But his movies focused on sex.

If you are an American history buff, you will want to look at western movie posters.
