La Belle et la Bete - Beauty and the Beast

Scarce original release german movie poster. Internationale Film Allianz (IFA) distribution was installed by the French Military Goverment. Their work began in 1947 ended with the foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany in May 1949. It seems that the short-lived history of the IFA began and ended with this film: They first released it for german audiences in April 1947 and re-released it 1949, so it was most likely the last film they showed as well. This is the poster for the original 1947 release. It has never shown up for public sale before. The poster was professionally linenbacked, small paper loss in folds has been expertly restored. It now looks amazing. With Jean Marais, Jesette Day, directed Jean Cocteau.
