Description & Condition: You are bidding on a folded German A1 sheet single-sided movie poster in fine to very fine condition (see image of actual poster and our grading scale below). A piece of white paper was placed over the nudity for the photo only and is not part of the image. This is not a reproduction or reprint poster, it is a genuine original 1975 German theatre release colour one sheet movie poster as distributed by AB Filmverleih. We will combine multiple purchases into one package (if feasible) to save you on postage cost.

 

All items are sent standard with tracking (registered post, express post, and extra cover is available upon request), and are either rolled in bubble wrap and packed in a very sturdy round end-plugged mailing tube, or folded into their original folds and placed into a protective sleeve and carefully flat packed into a large stiff mailing folder with backing board for extra protection during transit.

 

Image Information: A picture speaks a thousand words and form an important part of the item description so please take the time to look at all the images carefully. All images of the actual item for sale and are photographed under natural lighting (where possible) and have not been digitally doctored. We do not use stock photos so what you see is what you get.

 

Movie Synopsis A young woman forced into nun-hood by her corrupt father decides she can't take the religious oppression any longer and flees the convent upset that all the historixal religious leaders are male. She gets her opportunity when the convent is invaded by the Tarantula Sect on their annual pilgrimage. The cultists defile the place of worship, orgying in the chapel and desecrating the altar. For one thing it is serious, believable, and fairly historically accurate. For another thing it generally avoids being merely crass exploitation. There is sex and nudity but it is all in the context of the film.

 

German Movie Poster Sizes:

A00: 118 x 166 cm or 46 x 65 inches.

A0: 84 x 118 cm or 33 x 46 inches (may be vertical or horizontal format).

A1: 59 x 84 cm or 23 x 33 inches; this is the most common size.

A2: 59 x 42 cm or 24 x 17 inches.

A3: 29 x 42 cm or 11 x 17 inches.

A4: 21 x 20 cm or 8 x 8 inches.

 

Lobby cards are also printed on paper, they vary in size from 8 x 12 in to 12 x 18 in and were often printed and issued in sheet form (23” x 33”) and then cut up at the theatre for display.

 

Combined Postage Information: We will combine any auction or fixed price posters to save you on postage. If you are buying multiple posters please let us know and then wait until we adjust the invoice before making payment.

 

All posters are either rolled and shipped in a cylinder or folded into their original folds and carefully flat packed into a protective sleeve and large stiff mailing folder ($2.49 each) with backing board for extra protection during transit.

 

For those concerned about shipping cost please note: The shipping pricing is out of my hands and Australia Post has recently increased their prices. I only charge $2 extra and that is because I pack the posters into a plastic sleeve and then into a stiff envelope ($2.49 each from Officeworks) with backing card (not between a couple of pieces of crappy cardboard or rolling folded posters as it affects the folds) so I am actually losing on postage.

 

How Our Posters Are Graded

All images of the posters are of the actual poster for sale so what you see is what you get, we do not use stock photos.

 

Very Fine – Almost Mint: Unused with no flaws.

 

Fine:  Generally unused with the original folds and possible signs of minor ageing but no significant flaws.

 

Very Good:  These have the usual folds, possibly some pinholes, possible very light blue tack stain spots, minor edge or fold wear, slips or tears, and unobtrusive stains but no paper loss.

 

Good: Has possible staining, pinholes, minor paper lifts in corners, small tears (possibly taped on reverse) slight fold separations, minor paper loss, and possible blue tack stain spots, and edge wear but still good enough to frame.

 

Fair: These posters will need some restoration and are usually only sold on this site if they are rare and hard to find. There will be a combination of tears, paper loss, staining, pinholes and blue tack stains but because of the rarity of the poster, worth linen backing.
