It has an image created by Alan Aldridge that incorporates a very sexy naked girl with portions of the Chelsea Hotel, and is extremely "eye catching".

Artist: Alan Aldridge Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned an example of this Australian poster before! When this movie was first shown in 1966, Alan Aldridge created a spectacular sexy poster image for the movie. Because it only played in a very limited number of theaters, very few posters were created. We do not know of any examples of that poster that have been auctioned or have been offered for sale, but we have auctioned four examples of a 1970 re-release U.K. double crown poster that has that image. The is the first time we have ever auctioned a poster from ANY other country with this image (it is from the 1981 first release of this movie in Australia, advertising showings in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide, and likely not many such posters were printed)! Also note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars. Finally note that this Australian one-sheet measures 28" x 40" [71 x 102 cm]. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has fine creases scattered in several areas and some edge wear. Despite the minor defects the extremely rare poster displays well from a reasonable viewing distance (see our image)!
