An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]) (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! IT IS NOT THE SAME AS THE "REGULAR" AUSTRALIAN ONE-SHEET. That poster has green over the credits and the "The book is banned" tagline at top is in all capital letters and is in red. There is also more color in the image. All this would seem to suggest that this poster may be a second printing, either from soon after the first poster, or from a year or more after. It is also possible that this poster predates the other poster, but our best guess is that it does not. Please do not bid on this extremely rare poster unless you can accept the above uncertainties. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The poster has some light creases at left that affect a portion of the art of her left eye and glasses and to the left of the lollipop, but they are not very noticeable or distracting. It is otherwise in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
