Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first released in England in 1968, it was rated "X". There is a later re-release of the movie in the UK in 1970 (with a rating of "AA") however, THIS poster is from the very first release of this movie in the U.K.! We have only auctioned two examples of this 1968 first release British quad in the last 15 years, and those examples sold for $1,225 and $778! Note also that it has been established that the leg in the iconic image on this item belongs to Linda Gray (who later went on to fame in TV's "Dallas"), and not Anne Bancroft! Note finally that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has light rippling throughout due to exposure to moisture, and there is spotty discoloration on back at upper left and in a few areas mostly near the right center crossfold. It has a few pinholes in the corners. However, this is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that many or most of the very light rippling and very faint areas of slight discoloration mentioned above can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will look fantastic (but of course bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.)
