The Tailor from Torzhok
A lottery ticket sends a provincial tailor spinning through comedy.
What
Poster for Protazanov's comedy for Mezhrabpom-Rus, built around a national lottery gimmick.
Why
The lottery was real, sold in cinema lobbies, so the poster had to sell chance as much as film.
Notice
Bold blocks of flat color carry the tailor's dizzy luck.
“Chance spun into flat color”
