Original French One-Panel Poster (47×63) for the Jean-Luc Godard dramatic masterpiece, LE MEPRIS (1963) starring Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli, and Jack Palance. LE MEPRIS is a profound and complex film about filmmaking in the 1960′s. Bardot gives a magnificent performance as Camille Javal, the wife of an aspiring screenwriter Paul Javal (Piccoli). “Contempt” was the US title of this film, and Jack Palance delivers a stunning performance as the “contemptuous” producer Jeremy Prokosch, whom Bardot initially disdains but comes to like more than her screenwriter husband. Most interesting for cineastes today is the appearance of director Fritz Lang as a film director. A corner was torn off of the poster. The small fragment was retained and reattached to the poster in the linen backing. Beautifullly linen backed. A very nice example of this poster
