An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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.

There is separation and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and some creases and scuffs down the vertical foldline and across the top horizontal foldline. There are diagonal creases in the left corners, and reverse diagonal creases in the middle of the left of the image (the four diagonal creases are primarily in the background area of the image, just touching the edges of the red glasses), and pinholes in all four corners. There is a small area of paper loss in the right of the top edge of the background area. The above defects are everything that is wrong with this poster, and it has never been restored in the slightest, and there is no tape anywhere on the front or back of the poster. I would think many collectors could happily display this great poster just as it is, or after linenbacking, the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
