Los cocos
1929
This dazzling Swedish poster advertises the Marx Brothers' very first feature film, 'The Cocoanuts' (1929), rebranded here as 'Millionaires' Paradise.' Artist Eric Rohman channels pure Art Deco glamour with a sun-kissed swimmer in a bold orange bathing suit, her white cape billowing like a sail against a tropical teal backdrop. The poster promises a farce operetta with music by the legendary Irving Berlin — quite the pedigree for Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo's chaotic cinematic debut. Printed in Stockholm by A.B. Officetryck, it's a perfect snapshot of late-1920s Scandinavian graphic design, where geometric elegance met Hollywood hype.
