Poster Description

Rendered in a comic-illustration style, the poster features the film’s leads in a humorous and flirtatious pose, often framed by classic Parisian landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, lamp-lined boulevards, or stylish cafés.

The CinemaScope en couleurs tagline and the prominently displayed names of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh underscore both the technological novelty and the star power of the release. The layout reflects a mix of American cinematic glamour and French promotional aesthetics, creating an irresistible vintage appeal.
