A Blonde in Love 1965 UK Quad Academy Cinema Film Poster, Peter Strausfeld

We adore this original 1965 UK Quad for A Blonde in Love is a wonderfully striking example of British arthouse poster design. Produced for London’s celebrated Academy Cinema, it pairs bold typography with a vivid, instantly memorable image, capturing the stylish, independent spirit of mid-1960s European film culture. Stunning colours. Wonderful design.

Directed by Miloš Forman, A Blonde in Love is one of the key films of the Czech New Wave. Warm, witty and quietly poignant, it helped establish Forman as one of the most important directors of his generation, long before his later international success.

The poster was designed by Peter Strausfeld, the artist closely associated with the Academy Cinema and admired for his distinctive, hand-crafted graphic style. His posters were never mere advertisements; they were original works of design in their own right, and remain highly sought after by collectors today.

With its strong colour, iconic portrait and links to both Forman and the Academy Cinema, this original vintage poster is an outstanding piece of film and design history — rare, characterful and beautiful poster.

This original vintage movie poster was originally folded, but stored flat a long time so folds softened. It is sized 30 x 40 inches and will be sent rolled.
