One-Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine Folded; Artist Tomi Ungerer
Columbia, 1964

In staying true to the black comedy tone of the classic Stanley Kubrick/Peter Sellers outing, this one-sheet poster art for Dr. Strangelove from Tomi Ungerer really captures the satirical essence of the film.

A very clean folded poster with only a light two-inch extra crease below the top horizontal fold on the right. That same horizontal fold has a tiny bit of wear on the right side, as well as some light tanning along the fold. There is also some slight bleed-over of the bright title color in between some of the titles in the center, but otherwise, the poster is in terrific condition.

A satirical political war black comedy by Stanley Kubrick, Dr. Strangelove is widely considered to be one of the best comedies ever made. From memorable imagery of Slim Pickens riding the H-bomb to lead man Peter Sellers playing three very different roles, the film remains a historic and hilarious piece of cinema.
