Un grido d'allarme ("before and after love\. A cry of alarm"), issued in 1971 to promote the italian drama directed by renzo renzi. A striking example of early 1970s italian cinema advertising, the poster combines bold graphic design with the provocative visual language that characterised the country's film posters during the period.

the composition is dominated by an expressive illustration of a blonde female figure rendered in a highly stylised painterly manner, set against a clean background incorporating the universal male and female symbols. The dramatic imagery is paired with vibrant typography in shades of blue and red, creating an eye-catching design that perfectly reflects the changing attitudes towards sexuality and social commentary that defined much of italian cinema during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

produced for the film's original theatrical release in 1971, the poster bears the title prima e dopo l'amore\. Un grido d'allarme together with the principal cast, including farley granger, franco interlenghi, loredana mongardini, leonora vivaldi, and edoardo salerno, and credits the production company la c.r. Cinematografica. Printed for cinema distribution, it represents an authentic piece of italian film history rather than a later reproduction.
