Diary of a Chambermaid
1946
Jean Renoir's 1946 film 'Diary of a Chambermaid' gets a glamorous Swedish makeover in this poster, where star Paulette Goddard's face explodes in fiery red illustration, looming large over her black-and-white photographic counterparts. She strikes three distinct poses—shushing the viewer, kneeling innocently, and standing confidently—while a giant blue book spills out the cast list, cleverly playing on the 'memoir' theme. It's a fantastic example of mid-century commercial art that blends hand-drawn glamour with photographic realism to sell a story of secrets and romance.
