Valley of the Dolls, the classic 1967 Mark Robson showbusiness drug addiction camp thriller ("The all-time #1 best-seller... Nowa movie"; "In the Valley of the Dolls, it's instant turn-on... dolls to put you to sleep at night, kick you awake in the morning, make life seem great-instant love, instant excitement... ultimate hell!"; "The motion picture that shows what America's all time #1 best seller first put into words!"; "The nation's most startling and hotly discussed best-seller now on the screen with every shock and sensation intact!"; "NEELY O'HARA: ... who was such a nice kid - until they put her name in lights. She took the green pills. Nice kid turned lush!"; "ANNE WELLES:... good girl with a million-dollar face - and all the bad breaks. She took the redpills."; "HELEN... who was a gut, fingernail and claw fighter - and went down swinging. She took the yellow pills."; "JENNIFER NORTH: ...International sex symbol - victimized by everyone. She took the blue pills. Sexsymbol turned on too often!"; "Based on a Book by Jacqueline Susann"; "Screenplay by Helen Deutsch and Dorothy Kingsley")starring Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, Paul Burke, Sharon Tate (in her fourth credited movie role), Tony Scotti, Lee Grant, Joey Bishop, George Jessel (Collectively billed as "Guest Stars Joey Bishop and George Jessel"), and Susan Hayward ("asHelen Lawson"). Note that the music for this movie was composed by John Williams (apparently his first real time doing so for a movie), and on the soundtrack CD he is billed as "Johnny Williams"! Note that"everybody" knew that the book was partially loosely based on the life of Judy Garland and other Hollywood stars, but to protect themselves, the producers added a note to the posters that read "The Producers wish to state that any similarity between any person, living or dead,and the characters portrayed in this film, is purely coincidental and not intended."

Condition:
Condition is"Used" but is in very good shape for being 54 years old. Poster is unrestored.There are a few pin holes in corners and along edge. Piece of tape at top front and rear as an attempt by someone to repair a 4.5-inch clean tear. This will be easily repaired and will disappear during the restoration process. This poster will be fabulous once linen backed and framed! I had intended to keep this in my personal collection, but I simply do not have the wall space in my home.Will be shipped with USPS Priority in a sturdy hard tube. I am happy to passalong the contact information to the buyer of my conservator in CA who you canlinen back and restore this for you. She is awesome and does work for all the major studios.
Please note that all of my items are antique or vintage.  Therefore,you should not expect items to have a brand-new look or to be in perfect condition.  Antique items are heirlooms from the past and have rich history.  Part of their beauty is the history behind each of them and the fact that they are living treasures from the past that have managed to survive the test of time.
I try to provide nice large close-up photographs so you can judge the item accordingly.
Take a close look at the pictures, as they are one of the best elements to assess the condition of each item and are part of the description.
