This extremely rare six-sheet poster for the 1968 Cult, Sci-fi classic "Barbarella" starring Jane Fonda is an incredible find! This massive piece was created and illustrated by Robert McGinnis for the Original 1968 First United States Release. It is a U.S. six sheet poster. Very few of these are believed to remain, making this a very hard to find piece of movie memorabilia! Barbarella[a] is a 1968 science fiction film directed by Roger Vadim, based on the French comic series of the same name by Jean-Claude Forest. The film stars Jane Fonda as the sexy title character, a space-traveller and representative of the United Earth government sent to find scientist Durand Durand, who has created a weapon that could destroy humanity. The cast also includes John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg, Milo O'Shea, Marcel Marceau, David Hemmings, Ugo Tognazzi and Claude Dauphin. (Wikipedia). The film was directed by Roger Vadim. The Poster features incredible artwork and overall is LiNEN BACKED and in OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION, with only minor aging and blemishes around the bottom edge (see photos). NOTE: The original dimensions of this poster were 81"X81". It appears that this poster was trimmed slightly around the white border bringing the current measurements to 77" X 78". None of the actual artwork itself was affected by this and the full poster art is intact. The poster as originally issued to theatres was folded, printed in four pieces and then glued together. The linen-backing alone on this poster would have been quite expensive due to it's size. This is an incredible piece of movie art and one hightly sought after by collectors. It looks amazing as a focal piece on a large wall. For More Info on the movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarella_(film)
