Does anyone know what font this is or something similar to it.

I don't think that one has been digitized, but I've gathered a few in this style here.

Let's not forget Falstaff and Normande

Thanks, Ken! Added.

I used to know the name of this font. Wish it was digital.

If anyone knows the name, I'd love to be reminded. Thanks

Pistilli Roman

Nope. Pistilli Roman is quite different.

I'm not sure if it was ever a commercially available font since it was a promotional ad for Suddler & Hennessey (Lubalin was once their VP/Creative Director) and may have been one of their unique headline film fonts.

The closest re-appearance of the face I found was Lubalin's "oh! ah!" letterhead design (featured in U&lc) which was actually handlettered by Tony Di Spigna.

The digital version of this font is now available it's called Eloquent Pro.

Eloquent is a a revival of Pistilli Roman, not the font shown in this image.

Display notes that this ad uses lettering by John Pistilli, which makes sense. So, not a font, but similar to the same artist’s Pistilli Roman.
