An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Lorna, the 1964 Russ Meyer buxom-wandering-bad-wife sexploitation movie ("Longing... Love... Lust... Life"; "Ever wonder why wives Wander?"; "More than a woman's name, Lorna, Too Much For One Man!"; "The boldest attempt yet to portray life as it can be... Without compromise... Without dishonesty... Without artistic surrender."; "..the embodiment of fulfillment and desire"; "James He loved too quick"; "Fugitive He loved too strong"; "Luther He loved too brutal"; "Jonah He loved too sick"; "Ezra He loved too well") starring Lorna Maitland ("a wanton of unparalleled emotion... unrestrained earthiness... destined to set a new standard of voluptuous beauty."; "...incredibly voluptuous"; "...to much for one man"), Hal Hopper, Mark Bradley, James Rucker, Doc Scortt, Althea Currier, F. Rufus Owens, Franklin Bolger, Ken Parker, and James Griffith (who also wrote the screenplay; billed as "Featuring James Griffith") 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 rare style one-sheet, which measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm], made its way to Switzerland, where it acquired a stamp on the back that says "DEPARTMENT DE JUSTICE ET POLICE, GENEVE (H) AFFICHAGE REFUSE". The last two words roughly translate to "DISPLAY REFUSED", and we take it to mean that the Swiss police said that this poster could not be displayed (obviously because it was too sexy!). Note that the commonly seen one-sheet for this movie has a primarily green background, and there is a less commonly seen style that has the same image, but a solid black background. But there is also this completely different third style, which has a FAR sexier image than the other two, which would likely account for why it is far more rare than the other two styles! The one-sheet offered here is extremely rare, and I have only seen a few other examples of it. Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Exploitation". Condition: good to very good. There are some smudges and scuffs scattered in various areas. There is approximately 2" of separation in the edges of the upper and lower horizontal folds. There is an ink pad stamp on the back that slightly bleeds through to the front at upper right (see above). There are some pinholes around the edges (some are torn or enlarged due to rough removal). It is otherwise in pretty good condition and if one chose to have it restored it would look great, although I imagine many collectors would be happy with this poster as it is.
