POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: A wonderfully colourful late-1950s Australian Daybill with large hand-drawn red title lettering and vibrant illustrated artwork showing Alain Delon surrounded by the film's three female leads. Bright green, blue, pink and mustard clothing creates a playful composition against the predominantly white background. The poster also prominently advertises the film's French title Faibles Femmes and its presentation “in Eastman Color.”

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: This is an especially appealing early Alain Delon poster, produced near the beginning of his international screen career and before the films that established him as one of European cinema's major stars. Women Are Weak was released in France as Faibles Femmes and internationally under several titles, including Three Murderesses. The combination of Delon's early-career appearance, Mylène Demongeot, Pascale Petit and Jacqueline Sassard, and colourful Australian-specific artwork gives this Daybill considerably more collector interest than the film's light romantic-comedy subject might initially suggest.
