City Filmpalast in München/Germany

Congratulation - 50 years City Filmpalast Munich! 
This anniversary was celebrated in 2009 and a good reason for publishing this advertising postcard. 
City Filmpalast was opened in 1959 with one hall and about 1000 seats, later departed and the foyer was changed in a third hall. Now it has at all 841 seats in five halls and named City Kinos.
It is an arthouse cinema with an interesting programm.

Kino International in Berlin/Gemany - "Boccaccio '70" 1965

Boccaccio '70 is a 1962 Italian anthology film directed by Mario Monicelli, Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti and Vittorio De Sica, starring Anita Ekberg, Romy Schneider, Sophia Loren and Marisa Solinas. It is an anthology of four episodes, each by one of the directors, all about a different aspect of morality and love in modern times, in the style of Boccaccio. Boccaccio (1313-1375) is still today famous for his Decameron.
The total running time is 208 min (like the Italian version with all four segments), but there were some changes in some countries. I don't know the running time of the movie, when it came to Kino International and to East Germany on 2 July 1965.
The postcard was published by VEB Bild und Heimat in Reichenbach/Vogtland. 
The filmposter was designed by Erhard Grüttner.
