Auction History Result 1a001 LOLITA British quad '62 Stanley Kubrick, sexy Sue Lyon with heart sunglasses & lollipop! Date Sold 2/2/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures approximately 30" x 40") (Learn More) Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, the classic 1962 Stanley Kubrick English/U.S. tale-of-a-middle-aged-man-obsessed-with-a-teenage-girl melodrama ("How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?"; "aged for the movie due to censorship problems!"; "For persons over 18 years of age"; "Screenplay by Vladimir Nabokov based on his novel 'Lolita'"; it is very rare for a writer of a great work of literature to also write the screenplay) starring James Mason (as Professor Humbert Humbert), Shelley Winters (as Charlotte Haze), Peter Sellers ("as Quilty"), Sue Lyon (in the title role; billed as "Introducing Sue Lyon as 'Lolita'"), and Gary Cockrell. Note that there was no way in 1962 that Stanley Kubrick could have had a 12 year old girl play Lolita (as she was in Nabokov's novel). So instead he cast Sue Lyon, who was just shy of 16 when the movie was released, and that certainly changed aspects of the novel. The movie was remade in 1997 with Dominique Swain, who was just shy of 17 when the movie was filmed, and it is a virtual certainty that there will never be a movie based on it with an actual 12 year old girl. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Bert Stern Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" British quad for this partially English movie! Condition: good. There are tape stains in the corners and semi-circular water stains in the lower left and lower right border, extending into the image in the lower right (but it is barely noticeable from the front). There is some faint water staining in the top of the middle vertical foldline, and there is some faint ink transfer in the middle of the white background area (from the sunglasses at right, caused by the poster being folded too quickly after it was printed). Note that this is the sort of poster that responds really well to expert restoration. It is likely that some or all of the faint water stains would come out through chemical means during the linenbacking process, and the poster will likely require little paint restoration, and will look great!
