An original One Sheet Polish poster designed by Franciszek Starowieyski for the 1972 release of “The Most Wonderful Evening of My Life”

Franciszek Starowieyski was the first Polish artist to have a one-man show at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, in 1986. He has a very beautiful dark, surrealist style. This highly collectable Polish poster was one of the ones displayed at MoMA. 

The Most Wonderful Evening of My Life Italian: La Più Bella Serata Della Mia Vita is a 1972 Italian-French comedy drama film directed by Ettore Scola. It is based on the 1956 novel A Dangerous Game by Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt. 
Alfredo Rossi, a tax-evading Italian businessman, drives to Switzerland to deposit 100 million lire. He has miscalculated the timing, and the banks have already closed. Then he notices a mysterious black-clad woman on a motorcycle. He begins following her through the mountain roads until his car suddenly breaks down. Seeking help, he goes to a nearby castle where he is greeted by the owner, Count de La Brunetière. The count, a former defence attorney, invites Rossi to stay for dinner and participate in a game with Brunetière's three friends, all retired jurists. The game in question is a pretend trial in which Rossi will play the defendant. Rossi is reluctant to accept the invitation but then he sees Simonetta, a beautiful maidservant, and decides to stay.

"What if the perfect evening turned into a nightmare?"
