An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded International One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Bunny Lake Is Missing, the 1965 Otto Preminger English kidnapping psychological suspense mystery crime thriller ("The search for 'Bunny Lake' is on!"; "No one admitted while the clock is ticking!"; "It's the suspense-terror psycho-case that had Scotland Yard baffled!"; "From the novel by Evelyn Piper"; about a woman who reports her young daughter is missing, and over time, police start to doubt whether the girl ever existed!) starring Laurence Olivier, Carol Lynley, Keir Dullea, Martita Hunt, The Zombies, Noel Coward ("as Wilson"), and Suky Appleby (in the title role as Felicia 'Bunny' Lake) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that we believe this poster is an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). It does not have NSS information at the bottom, like the domestic style one-sheets, which makes it more likely it is international, but it also could simply be a rare alternate style. We have never seen or heard of this one-sheet before (and it has an entirely different image from that of either of the "regular" domestic one-sheets). Also, the art to the left of the title is clearly Saul Bass, and the entire design certainly looks like one of Saul Bass' very best works (but we would think that the images of the people are definitely not Saul Bass), but we can't say for certain that it is by him! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 "Saul Bass". Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time, and there are some creases, smudges, and scuffs along parts of several folds. There is also some faint ink transfer in the white areas of the poster, caused when the poster was folded. The poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have the above defects corrected through linenbacking. Either way, the new owner will have a great (and incredibly rare) poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
