Film poster titled “Member of the Club” featuring a collage of black-and-white images: a line of formally dressed women wearing crowns and evening gowns dancing hand in hand, a masked couple in elegant attire ascending steps at a formal event, and a close-up portrait of a woman looking thoughtfully off-camera. The overall tone is dramatic and historical.
