British Quad Publicity Poster for: LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER

1957 · WRCLIT69381 — Np: Regie du Film / Orsay / Columbia 1957. Vintage 30 x 40" 75 x 100 cm. British quad screen printed pictorial poster. Repeated folds some offsetting and light soiling to an area of the white lettering small breaks at folds in margins a used but essentially very good copy. A British quad publicity poster for the brief 1957 English language release of this 1955 French film adaptation of Lawrence's 1928 novel directed by Marc Allégret starring Danielle Darrieux Leo Genn Erno Crisa and Janine Crispin et al. The poster makes much of the novel's continued status as a 'banned book' in its unexpurgated form and as tepid as it is the film was also banned in the US until a court ruling in its favor. While artistically a fairly crude piece of work this quad is a much more visually appealing poster than that for the short-lived US 1957 release. Both are uncommon.
