Petulia, the 1968 Richard Lester romantic marriage melodrama ("People bugged by people will do extraordinary things."; "Petulia... the uncommon movie."; "Based on the novel by John Haase"; "I've been married six months - and I still haven't had one affair with another man."; "The dirtiest battlefield of all. You know it by a different name. Marriage."; "The deadliest battlefield of all." "It starts in the middle and moves toward its end and its beginning at the same time. Sound complicated? No more than life today. The violence that smashes into a girl's face was triggered months before. A young wife desperately trying to outstare an empty pillow must puzzle out yesterday if she's to get through tomorrow. If you're like most audiences, you get with it pretty quickly. and you have a lot to talk about afterwards. One last thing. You're usually asked to see a movie from the beginning. Not here. Go see PETULIA from the middle."; set in San Francisco; written by Lawrence B. Marcus) starring Julie Christie (in the title role as Petulia), George C. Scott, Richard Chamberlain ("as David Danner"), Arthur Hill, Shirley Knight, and Joseph Cotten ("as Mr. Danner")

Artist: Jean Fourastie
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Condition: very good. The poster had creases and some scuffs on the foldlines and some creases, smudges, and scuffs around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
