Auction History Result 2j296 KILLER'S KISS linen British quad 1955 Kubrick noir set in New York's Clip Joint Jungle, rare! Date Sold 12/11/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Killer's Kiss, the 1955 Stanley Kubrick New York City crime film noir gangster murder thriller ("Her Soft Mouth Was the Road to Sin-Smeared Violence!"; "Exposed! The Mobs, Molls, and Mayhem of New Yorks Clip-Joint Jungle!") starring Frank Silvera, Jamie Smith, Irene Kane, Ruth Sobotka (Kubrick's wife at the time), Jerry Jarret, and Mike Dana. Note that this movie is often mistakenly referred to as Kubrick's first, but actually, he had made four previous movies (three documentary short subjects, plus the 1953 feature, "Fear and Desire", which just about no one in the world seems to have ever seen or heard of)! Apparently, all of those movies and this one were financed by Kubrick's own family, and it was with his next movie, "The Killing", that he began making traditional Hollywood movies, with real movie stars in the lead roles!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this British quad from this second Stanley Kubrick feature film (and first release poster material from any country is rare)! Plus, this quad has a FAR superior image to that of the U.S. one-sheet. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds.

Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
