An Original 1959 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Lola Montes (released in the U.S. in an edited version in 1959 as "The Sins of Lola Montes"), the 1955 Max Ophuls French/German fictionalized biography romantic adventure tragedy ("The frank and shocking story of the worlds most famous WOMAN OF SCANDAL!"; "She lived too intensely and far too well!"; "The True story of a fancy woman!") starring Martine Carol (in the title role as Lola Montes), Peter Ustinov, Anton Walbrook, Henri Guisol, Lise Delamare, Oscar Werner, Will Quadflieg, Paulette Dubost, Ivan Desny, Oskar Werner, and Jean Galland. Note that the movie is presented with a framing device of an older Lola Montes appearing at a circus, with a series of re-creations of scenes from her life; when the movie was shown to U.S. audiences four years later, it was both censored and re-edited so that the scenes were presented in chronological order. Eventually, most of the original movie was reconstructed, and in 2008, a striking new Technicolor print was created. Also note that this was director Max Ophuls' final film and the only movie he made in color! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. There is some pen writing at lower center and there are some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
