This original 1968 Polish poster was designed by Jolanta Karczewska for the release of Jack of Diamonds, a stylish crime film directed by Don Taylor and starring George Hamilton, Joseph Cotten, Marie Laforêt, Carroll Baker, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. The Polish title, Walet Karowy, translates directly to "Jack of Diamonds," a fitting nod to the jewel-heist intrigue at the center of the film.
Karczewska’s composition is a striking example of the Polish School of Posters, where surrealism, abstraction, and bold color converged. Floating faces merge with landscapes, trees, stars, and faceted diamonds, while a rainbow arcs through the scene. The result is not a literal movie advertisement, but an imaginative visual poem that interprets the film’s themes of glamour and deception through a painterly lens.
Produced during a golden era of Polish graphic design, this poster reflects the freedom given to artists to create works of true originality. Karczewska’s posters are admired for their rarity and distinct vision, placing her among the notable female voices in a movement often dominated by male designers. This piece remains a highly collectible artifact of 1960s cinema and design history.
