An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Photobusta Movie Poster (lrg pbusta; measures 27" x 37 1/2" [69 x 95 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.

Important Added Info: Note that this is the only large Italian photobusta we have ever had for this classic Stanley Kubrick movie, and it has a great montage of nine images of Sue Lyon, together with different art! We previously auctioned this very poster, and it has been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned. What IS linenbacking?
