Original color studio lobby card for LOLITA
by [Nabokov, Vladimir]
- Used
[ Culver City]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/7 Arts, 1962. Original 11 x 14" color lobby card (#8 from the set). Large P. de Quebec censor's stamp in lower right corner, soft crease at one tip, tack holes at top corners from display, but a very good example. A non-Sue Lyon scene from Stanley Kubrick and James B. Harris's adaptation to the screen of Nabokov's novel. In this particular image, Peter Sellers (as a rather stiff Clare Quilty) is fawned over by Shelley Winters at the summer dance.
