About this Item
Original Czech poster for Wife for an Australian. A Polish comedy with an Australian Polish farmer as protagonist. Robert Wolanski arrives home with the task of finding a bride in three days and returning to Australia [available on YouTube in 10 parts without subtitles]. Australia was prominent in Polish consciousness during the postwar years over 50,000 Poles emigrated here between 1947 and 1954 and the movie makes much of the contrast between the social customs and behaviour of Poles and those Wolanski has learnt in Australia. The poster design stresses the transaction of the purchase of a wife: each letter of the title in a different typefaces, as if clipped from another source, sitting over a large hand reaching down to grab a woman. Poster measures 36 x 26cms. Rolled. Fine. Seller Inventory # 46224
