WOMEN IN LOVE 1969 Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson US 1-SHEET POSTER

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1969 Ken Russell Drama WOMEN IN LOVE, based on the novel by D.H. Lawrence and starring Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson, Jennie Linden, Eleanor Bron, Alan Webb, Vladek Sheybal, Catherine Willmer, Phoebe Nicholls, Sharon Gurney, Christopher Gable, Michael Gough, Norma Shebbeare, Nike Arrighi, James Laurenson and Michael Graham Cox.

Jackson won her first Oscar for her part as Gudrun in Russell’s succesful transition of D.H. Lawrence’s novel. Excellent work from Jackson and Linden as the modern-thinking 20s Brangwen sisters who enjoy stormy affairs with rich, tough Reed and school inspector Bates. Around this splendid central quartet of performances, Russell elivens things by encouraging broad turns from dilitante Bron and German sculptor Sheybal. Russell’s on very sure ground with the emotional basis of the film and the period atmosphere of the Midland mining village. The men’s naked wrestling in the firelight ensured its box-office success.

The poster is in very good folded condition with minor splits at the cross folds.
