Product description
There is an undeniable heat radiating from the saturated yellows and sultry gaze of Elizabeth Taylor in this 1958 classic. This poster captures the essence of Southern Gothic drama through a bold composition that places Maggie the Cat front and center. The color palette is dominated by a searing, sun-drenched ochre, contrasted by the crisp white of Taylor’s famous slip and the bold black typography of the cast names.
