This alternative style B design is rarer and far more desirable than the regular release US poster.

This 60s science fiction film was directed by Roger Vadim and was based on the comic series of the same name by Jean-Claude Forest. Vadim tried to cast various actors in the title role, including Virna Lisi, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, before casting his then-wife Jane Fonda as the space traveller Barbarella.
