An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (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.

The poster has minor stains and smudges on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when the poster was fully folded, but the stains and smudges have very little effect on the FRONT of the poster, so this is a relatively minor defect. The poster was folded and refolded several times, so there are several extra creases along the foldlines. There are pinholes around the edges of the poster and there are some brown water stains in the bottom blank white area. There is tiny paper loss at a very few of the crossfolds. This is the sort of poster that responds extremely well to restoration! The creases will pretty much vanish during the linenbacking process, and after simple linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look great and there will be little actual restoration anywhere in the image!
