Stanley Kubrick's landmark science fiction film is still considered one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time.

The American style D and E posters were created to re-launch the film in 70mm, owing to its disappointing initial box office takings. These posters were printed in a hurry with no National Screen Service information or date on the bottom, and were used for wild pasting on New York city walls, subway stations and any other available temporary hoardings. Mike Kaplan's tagline 'the ultimate trip' and the image of the star child, captured the experimental mood of the time, and struck a cord with audiences. This poster is one of the most evocative of the decade. The studio was so happy with this style E poster that it was re-printed and used for the subsequent re-releases of the film in the 70s, this time with the NSS information and date.
