Original Italian theatrical cinema poster for Shanghai Surprise (1986), the romantic adventure film directed by Jim Goddard and starring Sean Penn and Madonna. Presented by Mario & Vittorio Cecchi Gori and distributed in Italy by C.G. Silver Film, this visually rich poster was produced specifically for Italian cinemas during the film’s original theatrical release in the mid-1980s. The artwork features a dramatic, painterly composition, with Madonna portrayed in glamorous 1930s styling, contrasted by Sean Penn in period detective attire. Background elements — including vintage automobiles, Chinese architectural motifs, and sailing ships at sunset — evoke an exotic, nostalgic atmosphere inspired by classic Hollywood adventure romances. The design reflects the high-quality illustrated poster tradition typical of Italian releases from this era.
