Our expert's notes

Without doubt the most controversial film of it’s day, and that’s saying something when you consider it was released alongside “The Exorcist” and “Last Tango in Paris”. This original 1971 (X-certificate) UK Quad movie poster for Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent masterpiece “Clockwork Orange” features Philip Castle artwork and represents one of the most instantly recognisable film posters ever produced. Not that many were ever printed with these posters having a strictly limited print run. In fact, due to death threats to Kubrick, a general UK cinema release was denied to “Clockwork Orange” with only a very short run in London’s major cinemas. These original country of origin 1971 UK Quads are some of the rarest posters of the time and a piece of cultural cinematic history. The unrestored example being offered here is presented in excellent original folded condition with a true bright white background and bold unfaded prime colours.
