War movie posters: La Grande Guerra

And for the third poster of war movies linked to the Great War, I am proposing you today the best Italian one ever made: La Grande Guerra, directed by Mario Monicelli in 1959, with Alberto Sordi and Vittorio Gassman. Searching some documentation about this movie, I’ve found a very complete wikipedia page in English, and I agree with the authors. “the reconstruction of wartime life is, from a historical point of view, one of the best contributions by Italian cinema to the study of the First World War”.

 

War movie posters: Uomini Contro

I had the chance to visit a small exhibition in Gallarate (Italy) about war movies’ posters, I wanted to share with you some of them, which are of course all movies linked to the Great War. The first one of this series is 1970 movie, Uomini Contro, directed by Francesco Rosi. I had already published another post about this movie.
