An 18-year-old girl looks back at that fabulous summer on the Riviera... The interplay of five unconventional people competing for 'kicks', pleasures and love..."; "Based on the novel by Francoise Sagan", who was 17 years old when she wrote it; it tells of her own life where her rich father was about to marry a former girlfriend, and how much she did not approve of that) starring Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Jean Seberg (in her second movie role!), Mylene Demongeot, Geoffrey Horne, Juliette Greco, Walter Chiari, Martita Hunt, Roland Culver, Jean Kent, David Oxley, and Elga Andersen NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: 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. There is light rippling throughout the poster from exposure to moisture. There is separation in each crossfold (especially the lower crossfold which also has some paper loss) and each is repaired with tape from the back. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right.
