The artwork on this large format poster is unique to this size piece. It was designed to be pasted onto billboards, and therefore only unused examples survived.

Very rare, has only surfaced a few times.

This musical romance was directed by Vincente Minnelli, and stars Leslie Caron as Gigi and Maurice Chevalier. The screenplay was written by Alan Jay Lerner, and features songs with lyrics by Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, which were arranged and conducted by André Previn.
