("my love, warm me\."), issued in 1973 for the italian release of the french erotic drama directed by max pécas. A striking example of early 1970s european cinema advertising, the poster combines dramatic painted artwork with bold typography, capturing the sensual visual language that became synonymous with continental film promotion during the period.

the composition is dominated by an expressive painted embrace between the film's central characters, set against a warm, glowing background of rich amber and crimson tones. The intimate scene is rendered in a highly accomplished illustrative style, while the bold blue title provides a vivid contrast that immediately commands attention. The lower margin carries the principal cast, including sandra jullien, marie-georges pascal, jean-luc terrade, and anne kerylen, together with credits for director max pécas, one of the most prolific figures in french popular cinema during the 1970s.

the title translates as "my love, warm me\.", perfectly encapsulating the romantic and sensual themes explored by the film. During the early 1970s, italian distributors became renowned for commissioning visually compelling poster designs that elevated cinema advertising into an art form, producing original illustrations that often proved more memorable than the films themselves.

produced for the film's first italian theatrical release, the poster bears the inscription "prima edizione italiana 1973" ("first italian edition 1973"), together with the printer's credit gammacolors, roma, confirming it as an authentic first-release cinema poster rather than a later reproduction. Original italian film posters from this era remain highly sought after for their artistic quality, historical significance, and decorative appeal.
