Released in 1954, "The Love Lottery" is an Ealing Studios comedy directed by Charles Crichton and starring David Niven, Peggy Cummins, Anne Vernon and Herbert Lom. Niven plays Rex Allerton, a world-famous film star overwhelmed by obsessive admirers who retreats to an Italian village, only to discover that a gambling syndicate has made him the first prize in an international lottery.
The film offers an affectionate satire of celebrity culture, publicity and the manufactured fantasies of the movie business. Its continental locations, sophisticated humour and Niven’s self-mocking performance distinguish it from Ealing’s better-known British-set comedies, while the story now appears strikingly prescient in its treatment of fame as a marketable commodity.
This original US one-sheet was issued for the film’s 1954 theatrical release and is in great condition.
