Men in Her Life
1931
Featuring a dramatic, romantic embrace between lead characters Lois Moran and Charles Bickford, this Swedish movie poster for the 1931 film 'Men in Her Life' (Männen i hennes liv) is a stunning example of Art Deco graphic design. Three ghostly green profiles of other men loom ominously in the background, literally illustrating the film's title and hinting at the protagonist's complicated romantic history. The bold orange typography against the deep black background creates a vivid contrast that perfectly captures the melodrama of early 1930s cinema.
