Zigzag of Success
Original vintage Soviet cinema poster for a comedy film directed by Eldar Ryazanov (1927-2015) Зигзаг Удачи / Zigzag of Luck about a photo shop worker who wins the lottery before New Year with money borrowed from a fund, leading to a team discussion of how to share the prize that unveils hidden secrets: one skipped their regular commits to the fund, one is in a relationship with another's spouse and the winner may be excluded from a share - a satirical plot typical of Ryazanov's movies during the 1970s that exposes personalities and their conflicts in a totalitarian collectivist context. Great stylised illustration showing a group of people wearing smart suits and dresses running and fighting along a light green wavy path to reach a black briefcase bag first with a black and white photographic image of a man below, the text along a diagonal line through the centra. Very good condition, folded as issued, faint creases.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
