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.

Important Added Info: This transparency has a sticker on the plastic sleeve that has letters and numbers. We took a picture of the transparency in the sleeve so that bidders can see that sticker (if it matters to them). We also made a scan of the transparency without the sleeve, because that is higher quality (so there are two images, but of course, the winning bidder gets the single transparency in the sleeve).

Note that this is a "studio-issued" transparency. What is it? It was produced by the studio but is not the camera original. It is very high quality and was created in quantity by the studios and sent to media outlets or other places that had need of the very highest quality image for reproduction purposes (in newspapers, magazines, or elsewhere). The transparency is in a plastic sleeve (but we removed it and scanned it so that bidders could see just how high quality it is). It will be sent to the winner of the auction in its plastic sleeve.

This is a very special auction of 710 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, plus lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size.

Also note that this auction is for one or more transparencies, and every one of the 270 auctions of transparencies we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the transparencies in this auction, and, except in the case of very few larger sets of transparencies, we scanned each one individually (see above for what we did on this specific auction), and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the transparencies in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased, if they desire. However, if it indicates above that we did not scan all the transparencies in this auction (which is only true of a very few transparencies), then of course we can only send you the photos we took of the ones we did not scan.
