Les Amants [The Lovers] (Original pressbook for the 1958 film) by Malle, Louis (director); Louise de Vilmorin (screenwriter); Dominique Vivant (novel); Jeanne Moreau, Alain Cuny, Jean-Marc Bory (starring) - 1958

Paris: Lux Film, 1958. Vintage pressbook for the 1958 French film. Text in French.

Loosely based on Dominique Vivant's 1777 erotic novel "Point de lendemain" (No Tomorrow). Director Louis Malle's second film, following a wealthy woman who becomes bored with both her emotionally distant husband and her lover, and begins a new affair with a young stranger. After its release in the US, the film became the subject of a landmark First Amendment case before the Supreme Court, wherein Justice Potter Stewart, in declaring the film not obscene, issued the immortal phrase "I know it when I see it" in regards to what constitutes pornographic material.

Shot on location in Cote-d'Or, Haute-Provence, Burgundy, and Paris.

12 x 9.5 inches. Two leaves, folded vertically and bound with two staples. Very Good plus, with light edgewear, creasing, and pinholes to the corners.
