Poster for the 1930 film Morocco. At bottom left is the Paramount logo, 1-B, 3050, and Country of origin USA. At bottom right is This poster leased from Paramount Publix Corp. and 44732. The poster features a beautifully rendered illustration in a painterly style showing two figures in an intimate, romantic composition. A man wearing a distinctive white kepi (French Foreign Legion cap) with a dark band and military uniform leans protectively over a woman with striking red/auburn wavy hair. The woman gazes directly at the viewer with a captivating expression, her porcelain skin and delicate features highlighted. The figures are portrayed against a soft, dreamy background with flowing white fabric or drapery suggested by loose brushstrokes in cream and blue tones, creating an exotic, desert atmosphere. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Morocco1930.jpg
