Hill 24 Doesn't Answer - Movie Poster – Spanish, 1955
Movie Poster in Spanish for Israeli film Hill 24 Doesn't Answer (La Colina 24 No Contesta) from 1955 , one of the first feature films produced in Israel. The film deals with the battles of the 1948 War as well as the battle for East Jerusalem. Directed by Thorold Dikinson, the script was written by Israeli Peter Frye. The cast featured Edward Mulhare and Michael Wager, as well as Israeli actors Haya Harareet, Arik Lavie, Shoshana Damari, Yossi Yadin and others.
The film represented Israel at the Cannes Festival, was commercially successful and gained good reviews. Still, in Israel it was criticized for being English speaking, which was considered insufficiently patriotic.
The upper part of the poster features four male figures, saluting a grave with a flag of Israel, a body of a fighter behind them. The bottom part features a fighter with a rifle, as well as a man and a woman.
The poster's designer is signed Carri. The poster was produced in Argentina in 1955 or 1956.
109X73 cm. Very good condition. Folding lines. The poster is linen-backed for display and preservation.
