Description
A vintage French movie poster of ''Captain Newman, MD'', a 1963 American comedy-drama film directed by David Miller and starring Gregory Peck in the titular role. The movie is set during World War II and is based on the novel of the same name by Leo Rosten. It combines elements of humor and drama while exploring the psychological toll of war on soldiers.
The story revolves around Captain Josiah Newman (played by Gregory Peck), a compassionate and dedicated psychiatrist serving in a military psychiatric hospital in the United States. The hospital is tasked with treating soldiers who have experienced various mental and emotional traumas as a result of their wartime experiences.
Captain Newman is determined to help his patients, who include soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and other psychological issues. He employs unconventional and humane methods to treat them, often challenging the military's traditional approach to mental health care. He forms deep connections with his patients, striving to heal not only their psychological wounds but also to restore their faith in themselves and their fellow soldiers.
The film also features an ensemble cast, including Tony Curtis as Corporal Jackson Leibowitz, Angie Dickinson as Lieutenant Francie Corum, and Robert Duvall as Captain Paul Winston "Wash" Washburn, among others. Each character brings their own unique challenges and stories to the hospital, adding depth to the narrative.
"Captain Newman, M.D." explores themes of mental health, compassion, and the impact of war on individuals. It balances moments of humor with moments of introspection, shedding light on the struggles faced by soldiers during wartime and the importance of empathy and understanding in their recovery.
The film received critical acclaim upon its release and was praised for its performances, particularly Gregory Peck's portrayal of Captain Newman. It remains a notable entry in the genre of war-related films, offering a unique perspective on the emotional and psychological toll of war on those who serve.
About the poster artist:
Constanin Belinsky (1904–1999) was born in Bratslav, Ukraine. He studied art in Chișinău, Romania before working professionally in Paris, where he painted posters for classic dramas. Later in his career, he specialized in genre films such as "The Creature from the Black Lagoon."
Belinsky’s style is particularly bright and attention-grabbing, thanks to a color palette with major yellow elements. Much attention is also paid to the typographic characters, creating particularly expressive titles and varying with other textual elements, such as names of actors, directors, film production companies. The result is a diverse miscellany of images and words. Unlike other movie posters, Belinsky's portraits are not particularly realistic, they do not want to faithfully represent the faces of the protagonists as if they were true. The designer is more focused in producing powerfull figures often depicted full length, accentuating poses, movements, and dynamism.
