Our expert's notes

Without doubt the most controversial film of its day, even though it was released alongside "The Exorcist" and "Last Tango in Paris." Due to death threats to Kubrick, a general UK cinema release was denied to "Clockwork Orange" with only a noticeably short run in London's major cinemas. This 1971 (X-certificate) UK Quad movie poster for Stanley Kubrick's ultra-violent masterpiece "Clockwork Orange" features Philip Castle artwork. One of the most recognisable film posters ever produced, these original country of origin 1971 UK Quads had limited print runs and are some of the rarest posters of the time.

30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)
