At love without meaning. At murder without guilt. At the dazzle and the madness of London today."; "Two fanatical teenagers on David Hemmings in the hope that he will use them as models."; about a successful photographer who feels completely detached from his photographs of violence and pain until he takes a photo of a couple in a park and discovers a possible murder) starring Vanessa Redgrave, David Hemmings, Sarah Miles, John Castle, Jane Birkin (in her second credited movie role!), Gillian Hills, and Veruschka von Lehndorff (billed as "Verushka" in her first film role, the Russian model who is featured on most of the posters from this classic Antonioni film!), and The Yardbirds (including Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck) 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 only auctioned two in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2003! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture and some of the moisture has caused the left edge of the poster to "soften" and have deterioration and paper loss (see our image). It has a few pinholes around the edges and moderate fold and border wear. Certainly one could wish to find this ultra-rare poster in better condition, much of the image is "all there" and many of the defects affect blank paper, and certainly the poster could be restored and paperbacked and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.
