Poster: THE 400 BLOWS (dir. Francois Truffaut) 1959 really trying not to make this a blog about posters (it isn’t, i swear!), but this week sure has seen some good ones.  also, the tag-line is incredible. i have to imagine that the film’s domestic distributors flirted with making it the American title. of course, if it were released today it would have gone to theaters as The 400 Blows 3D: Angel Faces Hell-Bent For Violence: Part I (from the studio that brought you The Artist). movieposteroftheday: US poster for LES QUATRE CENT COUPS (François Truffaut, France, 1959) Artist: unknown Poster source: Heritage Auctions For more about this and other posters for THE 400 BLOWS read today’s Movie Poster of the Week at Mubi.com.
