An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Party (released in Italy as "Hollywood Party"), the 1968 Blake Edwards Hollywood movie making acting mistaken identity screwball comedy ("If you've ever been to a wilder party - You're Under Arrest!"; about a major Hollywood production that includes an Indian actor, and the producers hire a real film star from India to play the part, but he is terrible, and he is intended to be fired, but he is accidentally invited to a party instead, with very comic results) starring Peter Sellers, Claudine Longet, Jean Carson, Gavin MacLeod, and James Lanphier. Note that it is said that Peter Sellers did not have a script, and that he improvised all of his dialog, and that the other actors had to "follow his lead", which would, of course, be incredibly difficult. The movie has gained a significant cult following over the years since its release! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that famous illustrator Jack Davis did the artwork for the style B poster on this movie, but this style A poster has different artwork. An illustration expert suggests that it may be the work of Don Silverstein, who was behind many advertisements, book and album art from the 1950s to the 1970s. However, because the poster is unsigned, we cannot be certain. We do know that this poster commands a far higher selling price than the style B poster (likely because it is clearly FAR more rare than the style B poster)! If anyone knows more about this art, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The poster has diagonal creases in the corners. It has creases and scuffs on small parts of some folds and some fine surface paper loss in the left and right of the middle horizontal fold, with two 1/4" vertical tears in the right of the middle horizontal fold. It has pinholes in the corners and two at the very bottom of the image. Learn More about condition grades
