Lolita, the classic 1962 Stanley Kubrick English/U.S. tale-of-a-middle-aged-man-obsessed-with-a-teenage-girl melodrama ("How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?"; "aged for the movie due to censorship problems!"; "For persons over 18 years of age"; Screenplay by Vladimir Nabokov based on his novel 'Lolita'"; N.B. it is very rare for a writer of a great work of literature to also write the screenplay) starring James Mason (as Professor Humbert Humbert), Shelley Winters (as Charlotte Haze), Peter Sellers ("as Quilty"), Sue Lyon (in the title role; billed as "Introducing Sue Lyon as 'Lolita'"), and Gary Cockrell. Note that there was no way in 1962 that Stanley Kubrick could have had a 12 year old girl play Lolita (as she was in Nabokov's novel). So instead he cast Sue Lyon, who was just shy of 16 when the movie was released, and that certainly changed aspects of the novel.
 
This is a genuine, original Ratings style US One-sheet film poster in Very Good condition, linen-backed and restored by Flicks Film Posters in 2026. Very Good. Linen-backed and restored by Flicks Film Posters in 2026. Prior to linen-backing and restoration the poster was in Fair to Good to condition. There were many creases scattered throughout the poster There were some scuffs and it had moderate fold and border wear. There was paper loss at lower left. After proper restoration, including reconstruction of the missing piece at bottom left, the poster responded very well to the linen-backing process and it now displays superbly, although you can still see signs of the previous flaws and the restoration work to those original flaws.
