Le Fantôme va vers l'Ouest
1936
Swedish artist Eric Röhman designed this eye-catching poster for the 1935 film *The Ghost Goes West* (released in Sweden as *Spöket reser västerut*). The composition is pure Art Deco energy: a giant, streamlined green ghost surfs atop a yellow airplane, visualizing the movie's plot about a Scottish castle being dismantled and shipped to the USA. Beneath this whimsical flight, a romantic photo montage of leads Robert Donat and Jean Parker sits alongside a kilted man and a spooky castle silhouette, grounding the fantasy in the film's actual setting. Directed by French visionary René Clair, this was one of the first British sound comedies to gain international fame, and this poster perfectly captures its zany, transatlantic spirit.
