Massacre in Rome (1973) is a Champion Film / Fiduciary Films co-production produced by Carlo Ponti, directed by George Pan Cosmatos, written by Robert Katz and George Pan Cosmatos, based upon the book Death in Rome by Robert Katz, released by National General Pictures in Technicolor. Starring Richard Burton (winner of Best Actor at the Taormina Film Festival) and Marcello Mastroianni, with Leo McKern, John Steiner, Anthony Steel, Renzo Montagnani, and Delia Boccardo, the film dramatises the Ardeatine massacre of 1944 — one of the most notorious German reprisals of the Second World War. The striking illustrated poster — with its bold accusatory taglines — is an outstanding example of early 1970s war drama poster design.

Printed with a glossy finish on durable 200 GSM paper, this reproduction captures the dramatic power of authentic early 1970s Italian-American co-production war drama film promotional poster art. The Ardeatine massacre — in which 335 civilians and prisoners were killed by German SS forces in Rome in March 1944 — remains one of the most painful events of Italian wartime memory, and films like Massacre in Rome played an important role in keeping that memory alive.
