We adore this original 1964 photo collage Polish poster design by Maciej Hibner. He designed this vintage film poster for the Polish cinema release of British film ‘Flame in the Streets’ (Ognie na Ulicach) directed by Roy Baker and starring John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Brenda De Banzie, Earl Cameron and Johnny Sekka.

The film is set in the burgeoning West Indian community of post-war Britain and racial tensions rise at home, work and on the streets during bonfire night. We only wish more had changed since its release.

In his autobiography, The Director's Cut (2000), Roy Baker said the film had recently been shown at a Brixton cinema "to mark the 50th anniversary of the arrival in Britain of the steamer Windrush, bringing Caribbeans to work here. ... Some of the older ones [in the audience] testified that it was a true picture of the conditions the incomers faced and in some areas still do face."

Polish A2 size: 40.5 x 59.5 cm

Condition: please note there is little missing corner from the bottom right (as shown in the photo).

BUYING A VINTAGE POSTER

All of our vintage Polish posters are lovingly sourced from Poland and were the original editions commissioned by the Communist State to promote cultural events. Polish posters were printed in strictly limited runs to be displayed in town centres, theatres and cinemas - so any which survive have been lovingly rescued along the way.

For us, nothing comes close to the soulful charm of vintage Polish posters; the colours, the offset lithography, the matt paper. But please note, due to their age, many do bear marks of time.

We always do our best to describe any flaws, but if you have any questions at all about this vintage poster then get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you more info.
