La Bride sur le cou (Solamente por Amor) – 1961 Original Mexican One-Sheet Movie Poster (27x41”) | Brigitte Bardot | French Cinema Classic | Folded

Offered here is an original 1961 Mexican one-sheet movie poster for La Bride sur le cou (Solamente por Amor), the romantic comedy directed by Roger Vadim and starring Brigitte Bardot, Michel Subor, and Claude Brasseur. Released at the height of Bardot’s international fame, the film reflects the chic sophistication and carefree sensuality that defined French cinema in the early 1960s.

The Mexican release artwork is particularly striking—a vibrant hand-painted composition that emphasizes Bardot’s beauty and modern allure, framed by expressive brushwork and vivid color typical of Latin American poster design of the period. Unlike the more restrained French campaign, this version infuses the film’s glamour with warmth and personality, making it a standout example of cross-cultural adaptation in international poster art.

 The physical condition shows significant wear: heavy fold lines, rust from staples, water staining, edge tears, and scattered oxidation.

Note:

Posters featuring Brigitte Bardot from her early 1960s peak are highly collectible, and Mexican editions are prized for their unique artistry and limited print runs. This example captures both the elegance of French New Wave design and the vibrant expressiveness of Mexican lithography, making it an exceptional piece for collectors of international cinema and vintage glamour.
