Craig’s Wife by Eric Rohman, 1936

Swedish artist Eric Rohman designed this striking poster for the 1936 film *Craig's Wife*, locally titled *Craigs Hustru*. The bold Art Deco typography frames an intimate, breathless moment between stars Rosalind Russell and John Boles, rendered in stylish charcoal and rust-orange tones. Beyond the glamour, there's a hidden gem here: the film was directed by Dorothy Arzner, the only woman directing features for major Hollywood studios in the 1930s. It’s a fantastic snapshot of cinematic history, showcasing a powerful female lead and a pioneering female director all in one package.
