DOCTOR FAUSTUS

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1967 Richard Burton & Nevill Coghill Drama DOCTOR FAUSTUS, based on the play by Christopher Marlowe and starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

Faustus is a scholar at the University of Wittenberg when he earns his doctorate degree. His insatiable appetite for knowledge and power leads him to employ necromancy to conjure Mephistopheles out of hell. He bargains away his soul to Lucifer in exchange for living 24 years during which Mephistopheles will be his slave. Faustus signs the pact in his own blood and Mephistopheles reveals the works of the devil to Faustus.

The poster is in very good folded condition with an ink censor stamp top right (slightly imprinted bottom right) and an ink number on the reverse which bleeds through at the right.
