An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (measures 40" x 60") (Learn More) Sommaren med Monika (released in the U.S. in 1955 by Kroger Babb as a sex movie under the titles of "Summer with Monika", "Monika", and "Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl"), the 1953 Ingmar Bergman Swedish romantic coming-of-age melodrama ("No one man could ever hope to satisfy her lust for love!"; "Around the world - Everybody's Talking About Monika", but actually, this was a serious study of a teenage girl entering into womanhood and her difficulties in transitioning from a child to an adult; it was its single nude scene that let Babb promote it as a sex movie!) starring Harriet Andersson (billed as "Miss Harriet Andersson"; "The Sensational Young Swedish Actress"; in the title role as Monika), Lars Ekborg, Dagmar Ebbesen, Ake Fridell, and Naemi Briese 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 was a serious drama about a teenage girl coming of age and the problems she faced. It is a sensitive and excellent movie. But it did include a brief nude scene, and "America's Fearless Showman" Kroger Babb, bought the U.S. rights to the movie, and released it as a sleazy sex movie! He re-titled it, "Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl", and had a nude image of Harriet Andersson on the poster. No doubt he sold lots and lots of tickets, but I would bet the audiences were very surprised (and probably disappointed) by the movie they saw! Condition: very good. minor creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines); a few 1 1/2" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster; minor separation at some of the crossfolds and ends of the foldlines; tack holes around the edges of the poster (some enlarged from rough removal) Learn More about condition grades
