  • $475
Original pictorial standee on stiff board (approximately 58 x 37"), folded to four panels, with folded supporting struts intact on verso. A few bumps to corners, folds and edges, blank verso a bit dusty and hand smudged, generally very good, displaying well from the pictorial side. An original pictorial lobby standee prepared to promote the U.S. release of Southern and Joseph McGrath's embellished adaptation of Southern's third novel. McGrath directed the British production, starring Sellers, Ringo Starr, Richard Attenborough, Laurence Harvey, Christopher Lee, Spike Milligan, Raquel Welch, et al. The film was released in the UK on 12 December 1969, with the US opening following on 11 February 1970. Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Graham Chapman contributed additional material to the script. Standees are typically produced in quantities far below the numbers of one and three sheets, and tend to be uncommon in the after-market. Oversized, requiring extra shipping costs.
