"See Barbarella Do Her Thing!" is the oft quoted tagline for this erotic Sci-Fi fantasy flick from 1968. The excellent art work is by Robert McGinnis, who also illustrated a number of James Bond movie posters. This poster is an original U.S. 1 sheet, conservation backed on linen without restoration. It was graded as in Very Good condition prior to being backed, and here's why: The poster had been folded down along the top of the paper, about two inches, and that extra fold line is visible on close inspection - pictures #2 and #3 show this the best. Further, there were multiple pin holes in each corner of the paper and again, along the top where the paper had been folded down. When the paper was mounted on linen there was no attempt made to mask or "correct" these handling flaws. However, the poster exhibits superlative color - it's palette is bold and bright, and the fold lines show very little stress. There was no attempt made to touch up or repaint any parts of the paper. The conservationist added approximately 1 1/4" of extra linen all the way around, so the paper is not out to the edge of the linen - I've tried to show this in photos #4 & 5. The paper is 27"x41" as issued, and with the linen backing, the piece now measures 29 1/4" x 43 1/4". As always, we ask that you please examine all the pictures provided closely before you buy. If you need any additional information or photographs of the poster before buying, please let us know. We'll gladly furnish any information we can. This excellent "Barbarella" American 1 sheet comes ready to frame.
This film was released in 1968 just prior to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) establishing their ratings system, so there is no 'R' rating for the film - rather, it carries the "Recommended for Mature Audiences" advisory, seen in the lower right of the item. "Barbarella" stars Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg, Marcel Marceau, Ugo Tognazzi, Milo O'Shea and David Hemmings as 'Dildano'. The film was directed by Roger Vadim, Ms. Fonda's husband at the time. See our shop's Policies section for details about movie posters and our grading scale.
