I like the French grande for Le Mepris but for a cracking Bardot image my
firm favourite is the German A0 for La Verite:

Anselmo Ballester is renowned for getting the stars wrong (who really cares)
but I think he was spot on with Brando and On the Waterfront and Glenn Ford
and his poster for The Big Heat:

Marilyn's posters - across here entire filmography - often to do not look
like Marilyn. Very few of the illustrations get
it really right. Most of them are Marilyn-like. This is often the case
with film posters. The image of Veronica Lake on THIS GUN FOR HIRE does
not look like
Veronica Lake. Some Blonde is pictured.
So here's a question for the list - excepting photographs - which
illustrations on film posters really get the image of a star -
doesn't matter which one - REALLY right?
I point to the Roger Souble portrait of Veronica Lake. There is art that
really captures the look and the essence of the star's appeal.
