Stunning and rare original Italian first-edition movie poster for the iconic 1963 musical film "L'idolo di Acapulco" (Fun in Acapulco), directed by Richard Thorpe and starring the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley, alongside the legendary Bond girl Ursula Andress.
The beautiful and evocative period artwork (created by the historic Studio E2) perfectly captures the exotic, sun-drenched atmosphere of the film.
