Our expert's notes

British Quad (30" x 40") ; X Rated
Very Fine+ on Linen; Artist Philip Castle
Warner Bros., 1971

The film was withdrawn from British release in 1973 by Warner Bros at the request of director Stanley Kubrick. It was difficult to see the film in the United Kingdom for 27 years. Only after Kubrick died in 1999 was the film re-released theatrically and on VHS and DVD. That withdrawal made the original UK posters scarce. Also, note that many reproductions of this quad were made in more recent years, but they generally measure 29" inches or smaller. We guarantee the authenticity of this original release quad.

The poster was previously folded before linen backing. There were minor areas of airbrushing to the borders and touchup to fold lines. A tiny stain was next to the "'s" in the title, and a tear in the upper border into the white field.

Set in a nightmarish, crime-ridden future Britain, Stanley Kubrick's vivid and disturbing take on Anthony Burgess' 1961 novel proved instantly controversial on its release, thanks to its graphic content. But with its pop-art style and cutting-edge electronic score, there's far more to A Clockwork Orange than its ultraviolence.

Estimate: $800 - 1,600
