The artwork on this piece was also used on the smaller size US poster. This format, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples. This comedy film was directed by Blake Edwards and stars Peter Sellers and Claudine Longet. This was the only film outside of the Pink Panther films that Sellers and Edwards worked on together.
