Date Sold 10/21/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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 are faint smudges at lower left and lower right mostly affecting only the blank border area. Card #4 has an Australian rating stamp at lower right and some tiny pinholes around the edges. There are some very faint glue stains near the ratings stamp (likely where a snipe was once glued but has been removed). Card #5 has pairs of staple holes around the edges and some faint scuffing in portions of the image. Card #6 has pairs of staple holes around the edges and a tiny scuff in Mason's left arm near his wrist. There is a smudge at lower right mostly affecting only the blank border. Card #7 has surface paper loss along the upper and right edges and some pinholes around the edges as well. There are a few light scuff marks scattered in various areas of the image. Cards #1 and #8 have some pinholes around the edges and light scuff marks in the image and card #3 is in pretty nice condition. Overall, the majority of the few minor defects of the cards affect the edges or borders (see our images) and otherwise the rare complete set is in pretty nice condition!
