There are people who don't agree with that era of film. It is an important piece of the puzzle.John Kisch
In many cases, an American film poster would not feature the black star of the film whereas, in Europe, the poster would prominently feature them. 'The Great American Broadcast,' which was a 20th Century Fox picture made in 1941, features Alice Faye, Jack Oakie and John Payne, all of whom are illustrated on the American poster. The Italian poster features the Nicholas Brothers, and it's a lot more exciting.
