A 1985 Vintage Folded French "Petite" Commercial Movie Poster (printed to be sold directly to the public and NOT theater-used; measures 15 1/2" x 20 3/4" [39 x 53 cm]) (Learn More) Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, the classic 1962 Stanley Kubrick English/U.S. tale-of-a-middle-aged-man-obsessed-with-a-teenage-girl melodrama ("How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?"; "aged for the movie due to censorship problems!"; "For persons over 18 years of age"; "Screenplay by Vladimir Nabokov based on his novel 'Lolita'"; it is very rare for a writer of a great work of literature to also write the screenplay) starring James Mason (as Professor Humbert Humbert), Shelley Winters (as Charlotte Haze), Peter Sellers ("as Quilty"), Sue Lyon (in the title role; billed as "Introducing Sue Lyon as 'Lolita'"), and Gary Cockrell. Note that there was no way in 1962 that Stanley Kubrick could have had a 12 year old girl play Lolita (as she was in Nabokov's novel). So instead he cast Sue Lyon, who was just shy of 16 when the movie was released, and that certainly changed aspects of the novel. The movie was remade in 1997 with Dominique Swain, who was just shy of 17 when the movie was filmed, and it is a virtual certainty that there will never be a movie based on it with an actual 12 year old girl.

This was a company that made French movie posters at the time of many movies' first release in the 1970s and 1980s, and they were made from the same printing plates as the theater posters, and the only difference is a CinePoster logo in the bottom right corner. While most of the CinePoster printings were of current 1970s and 1980s movies, there were some that were done for re-releases of earlier movies. Condition: very good.
