Original vintage movie poster for the 1957 20th Century-Fox adventure romance film ‘Boy on a Dolphin,’ starring Alan Ladd, Clifton Webb, and Sophia Loren. This is a rare Egyptian release poster, printed by El Nasr (Cairo/Alexandria), making it a distinctly uncommon international variant highly sought by collectors. The vibrant illustrated artwork depicts two divers swimming underwater in a dynamic composition, with secondary vignettes showing a Greek island harbour scene and a romantic encounter set against ancient columns. The title is presented in bold red lettering on a stylised dolphin banner motif. Credits confirm the film was produced by Samuel G. Engel, directed by Jean Negulesco, with a screenplay by Ivan Moffat and Dwight Taylor, based on the novel by David Divine. The poster is filmed in CinemaScope and Color by De Luxe. Co-starring Alexis Minotis and Jorge Mistral, with Laurence Naismith, Piero Giagnoni, and Gertrude Flynn. A blue circular censor or distributor stamp is visible in the lower right corner. This Egyptian market one-sheet is a compelling piece of mid-century Hollywood promotional art, combining lush illustrative style with Mediterranean adventure imagery.
Multiple visible fold lines consistent with storage (horizontal and vertical). Some minor edge wear and small surface creases. A blue circular stamp in the lower right corner. Minor soiling or spotting visible in places. No obvious tears or pinholes visible, no tape residue apparent from photos.
