DESCRIPTION

This is an authentic original 1996 U.S. theatrical one-sheet movie poster for Diabolique, the psychological thriller starring Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palminteri and Kathy Bates.

The striking theatrical artwork features the three principal characters against a predominantly black background, with Isabelle Adjani prominently centered, Sharon Stone in profile, and Chazz Palminteri positioned behind them. The bold red Diabolique title creates a dramatic contrast with the dark composition.

The poster carries the memorable theatrical tagline:

“Two women. One man. The combination can be murder.”

This film was directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik and is an American remake of the classic French thriller Les Diaboliques. Contemporary poster references identify this exact design as one of the principal theatrical campaigns for the 1996 release.

This issue is documented as the original U.S. 27" × 40" double-sided one-sheet, printed for theatrical display. Original dealer examples identify it as double-sided, rolled/never folded, rather than a commercial reproduction.

This is an original theatrical movie poster, not a reproduction or later decorative print.

The exact poster shown in the photographs is the poster the buyer will receive.

COLLECTOR NOTES

This is a stronger collectible than a typical mid-1990s thriller poster because of the cast.

Sharon Stone was at the height of her 1990s film prominence, while Isabelle Adjani brings significant international cinema appeal. Kathy Bates and Chazz Palminteri add another layer of collector interest.

The dark photographic artwork is also particularly effective as display material, with the large faces, black background and vivid red title giving it a classic 1990s psychological-thriller aesthetic.

Most importantly, this is the original double-sided theatrical issue, which separates it from inexpensive later single-sided reproduction or video-market posters.

SHIPPING

Poster will be carefully rolled and shipped in a sturdy protective mailing tube.

The poster will be protected before being placed inside the tube to help minimize movement, edge damage and surface wear during shipping.
