A superb painted poster for the Italian release — retitled “The Mask of Frankenstein” — of Hammer’s The Curse of Frankenstein (1957).
Curiously, intriguingly, tension is created by posing the hand upside down, as if The Monster had its back to the window it was pushing open. Blood, an escapee’s broken chains and a dead tree heighten the morbid effect.
Update: The artist has been identified as Luigi Martinati. Here’s a short bio and another Frankenstein poster by Martinati.
That's a beautiful poster.
