Mr. Sohal met Catherine Deneuve in London when she was promoting the film Potiche.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This film was directed by Luis Buñuel and stars Catherine Deneuve in one of her most famous roles. Deneuve plays a young woman who spends her midweek afternoons as a high-class prostitute while her husband is at work.
