John F. Kennedy documentary film poster (Spanish poster distributed in La Paz and San Salvador)
A yellow-and-black Spanish-language poster for a colour feature documentary on President Kennedy, titled 'Anos de relampagos, dia de redobles'. A colour profile portrait beside a flag, Kennedy greeting a crowd, a family photograph with his wife and children, and a funeral procession in Washington fill the sheet, with film credits for writer-director Bruce Herschensohn. The tell is transfer: the dead president's standing is attached to the film, with glittering generalities in the title.
