V.I.P.S, THE (1963) 13614

Original MGM Six Sheet Poster (81x81). Folded. Very Fine Plus.

Original MGM Six Sheet Poster (81x81) for the Anthony Asquith drama, THE V.I.P.S (1963) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Louis Jourdan, Maggie Smith, Margaret Rutherford, and Orson Welles. The story concerns a group of rich, powerful, and influential passengers who are grounded at Heathrow airport during heavy fog and proceed to hammer out their personal affairs in the airport lounge. This movie was the first time Taylor and Burton appeared together since CLEOPATRA, and while most critics demurred, the public ate it up. The film has acquired a certain cult status now, and was recently the subject of a documentary film. Rutherford won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her comic performance as the Duchess of Brighton. This original six sheet poster is folded and in very fine plus condition. While one sheets are not uncommon, large format posters on the title have been elusive.
