An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded International Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 cm])
Artist: Philip Castle
Description: Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, the classic 1972 Stanley Kubrick (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English science fiction (sci-fi) psychodrama ("Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven."; "Being the adventures of a young man... who loved a bit of the old ultra-violence... went to jail, was brainwashed... and came out cured... or was he?"; "Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about the leader of a teenage band of futuristic hooligans that are into "Ultra-Violence" which means they do things like raping women and torturing old drunks, but he is sent to prison and receives a brainwashing treatment that results in an inability to perform violent acts, but at what cost?) starring Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri, Miriam Karlin, Warren Clarke, James Marcus (Clarke and Marcus play the droogs, Dim and Georgie), and David Prowse.
Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned four examples of this six-sheet, but the last one was 12 years ago! Also note that this poster was stamped "FOREIGN" which means it was printed for use outside the United States (there would also have been posters stamped "DOMESTIC" for use within the United States). Often, the "FOREIGN" posters would have a different (sometimes racier) image than that for the one used in the United States. Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap.
Overall Condition: good to very good. There is a small foreign stamp in one of the corners. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front. There are some creases and scuffs on parts of some folds.
