Alina could not scan the cards for us so she sent photos of her cards which I edited a bit for this post. The results probably differ a bit from the original postcards, but when I posted the result on Flickr something amazing happened. Alina’s postcard of Julie Christie in Far from the Madding Crowd (John Schlesinger, 1967) was selected by Flickr for its Explore section and thousands and thousands of Flickr users saw and loved it.
So, thank you, Alina, for your guest post with these rare and beautiful Acin cards! The floor is yours now.
Senta Berger
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 83.
Alina: This image is one that I really liked as a child. I didn't have this postcard then but I had a big Senta Berger poster with the same image. This picture is extremely beautiful, Senta Berger is wonderful. It can be called boundless blue.
Julie Christie
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 586. Julie Christie in Far from the Madding Crowd (John Schlesinger, 1967).
Alina: What can be said about this picture? Julie Christie is heart-warming in this picture and the novel ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ is awesome. Thomas Hardy is one of my favourite writers!
Rossana Podesta
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 559.
Alina: Such a wonderful picture of Rossana Podesta!
Marlene Jobert and Horst Buchholtz
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, 295. Marlène Jobert and Horst Buchholz in L'Astragale/Ankle Bone (Guy Casaril, 1969).
Alina: I haven't seen this film, but I really like this image.
Lucyna Winnicka
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 112.
Alina: An extremely beautiful image! This actress has a special charm and candour and at the same time, she is sexy – she is both an angel and a demon.
Julie Christie
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 60.
Alina: Julie is so beautiful and sensual in this photo.
Brigitte Fossey
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 161. Brigitte Fossey in Le grand Meaulnes/The Great Meaulnes (Jean-Gabriel Albicocco, 1967).
Alina: An image of innocence. I haven't seen the film or read the book, but they are on my priority lists. ‘Le grand Meaulnes’ is the only book by author Alain Fournier.
Anny Duperey
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 416.
Alina: I like this actress! Here is a scene from her film Sous le signe de Monte Cristo (1968).
Elizabeth Taylor
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 264. Elizabeth Taylor in The Taming of the Shrew (Franco Zeffirelli, 1967).
Alina: Liz Taylor is amazing in this sequence from The Taming of The Shrew! I really want to see this film. Acin has published more postcards with images from this film.
Genevieve Bujold
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 136.
Alina: A wonderful picture for a wonderful actress! Geneviève Bujold acted exceptionally in Anna of the Thousand Days (1969) and Coma (1978).
Dominique Sanda
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 446. Dominique Sanda in Une femme douce/A Gentle Creature (Robert Bresson, 1969).
Alina: A delicate, beautiful actress with a mysterious air! Acin has many pictures printed with her, both in black and white and in colour!
Jean Rochefort
Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 171.
Alina: Jean Rochefort is a great actor, who unfortunately left us a few years ago. I saw him in a few comedies and I thought he was brilliant. I don't think the sight is from any film, it is a private picture,. I read that Rochefort loved animals (the horses). I saw the same picture on a postcard by German publisher Progress on Flickr!
Extra: La multi ani!
Romanian calender card by Casa Filmului Acin, with the calendar at the flipside. Julie Christie in Far from the Madding Crowd (John Schlesinger, 1967).
