Movie poster of the 1961 film I Like Mike, directed by Peter Frye, based on a play by Aharon Meged, starring Chaim Topol and Batya Lancet.
The poster features black and white scenes from the film and illustrations in red and mustard. Designed by Artis.
The poster uses the English title chosen by the producers "Surprise Party," (even though the original Hebrew title was in English).
The plot deals with an ambitious mother who tries to wed her daughter to a rich Jewish-American young man visiting Israel, so that she and her family can move with him back to the US. The film is a satire of the "American Dream" of many Israelis of the time, and the admiration of money and status it represented.
88X113 cm. Very good condition. Folding lines, slight tears to the margins and slight flaws around some of the folding lines on the bottom left corner.
