SHUNKA WAKAN (1983 First Release) Original Italian Movie Poster
This is an original vintage theatrical movie poster from the 1983 first-release of the gritty Western adventure Triumphs of a Man Called Horse (released in Italy under the title Shunka Wakan). Directed by John Hough, this film serves as the epic final chapter of the acclaimed cinematic trilogy starring Richard Harris as John Morgan, an English aristocrat fully integrated into the Lakota Sioux nation. This massive Italian printing features a stunning, highly detailed illustration by a legendary poster artist that completely captures the spiritual intensity and raw action of the American frontier, towering over standard commercial domestic promotional materials.

COLLECTOR\'S NOTE:
What makes this particular Italian Quattro Fogli highly prized among collectors is that it features the definitive theatrical artwork of Sandro Symeoni, one of the most prolific and celebrated cinematic illustrators in European history. Symeoni masterfully utilized the monumental 2-panel format to paint a sweeping composition. The design centers a powerful, deeply textured portrait of Richard Harris, flanked by a dramatic rendering of the sacred Sun Dance ritual and fierce foreground figures of Michael Beck and Ana De Sade with traditional weaponry. For collectors of classic Western cinema, Native American historical dramas, and vintage Italian illustration art, this rare first-year theatrical printing remains a premier statement piece.
