About the Artwork

A close encounter beneath tall black lettering

Eric Rohman’s Craig’s Wife 1936 poster brings Rosalind Russell and John Boles together in a close portrait against warm cream. She tilts her head upward as he faces her in profile. Above them, two rows of black Swedish lettering are divided by a firm orange bar.

Artwork and design

Small strokes pick out the sheen in the hair and the folds of the white collar. A soft orange outline separates the heads from the pale ground. The relatively open top half gives the credits room to breathe and lets the pair of faces carry the lower half.

About this design

Dorothy Arzner directed the 1936 Columbia film adapted from George Kelly’s play. The Swedish title Craigs hustru and the two lead performers appear prominently in Rohman’s design. The image uses the proximity of their faces to suggest the strain and intimacy of a domestic drama.

Rooms and interiors

The quiet palette suits a dressing area, study or gallery of classic film portraits. Give the poster some open wall to show its pale margins and orange accents. It works well beside natural wood or a narrow black frame that repeats the tall title lettering.
