Description: VINTAGE 1965 The Knack..and how to get it (Best Picture Cannes) 1 Sheet Movie Poster Measures 27"x 41" The Knack …and How to Get It is a 1965 British comedy film directed by Richard Lester and based on the play by Ann Jellicoe. It won the Palme d'Or at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival and the Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association. It was also in competition for the Golden Bear at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival. PlotColin is a nervous schoolteacher working in London, observing rather than participating in the sexual revolution of the 1960s. He has little personal sexual experience and wishes to gain "the knack": in this case meaning a way to seduce women. He turns to a friend, a confident, womanizing drummer known only by his surname, Tolen. Tolen gives him unhelpful advice to consume more protein and use intuition, acknowledging intuition is not something that can be completely learned, and advocates the importance of domination of women. He then suggests that Colin should move into his home, where he and another friend "share" women.Colin boards the front door shut. The third flatmate, Tom, is obsessed with painting everything white... including the windowpanes. Due to the blocked door Tolen brings his girls in through the window. Colin swaps his single bed for a fancy old double wrought iron bed which he finds in a scrapyard with Tom. Nancy meets Colin at the scrapyard. Nancy is an inexperienced and shy young woman who has arrived to London from out of town, and is searching for the YWCA. She stops by a clothing store and is won over by the flattery of the clerk, until she overhears him repeating the same words to every female customer. From the scrapyard the three take the bed on a complex and zany journey back to the house. This includes parking it at a parking meter, moving it on a car transporter and carrying it down the steps of the Royal Albert Hall.In a public space, Tolen sexually assaults Nancy, who at first is silent then faints. When she wakes up, she begins claiming she was raped, though this was not the case. Tolen, Colin and their friends find themselves unable to restrain her from loudly repeating the allegations, or puncturing the tyres of Tolen's motorcycle, and she runs back to the residence, where she throws Tolen's records out of the window and strips naked. The men become convinced her rape allegations reflect rape fantasy and urge Tolen to have sex with her. When Nancy emerges from the room wearing only a robe, she instead expresses more attraction to Colin, and he returns the interest. The two begin to co-habitate.CastRita Tushingham as Nancy JonesRay Brooks as TolenMichael Crawford as ColinDonal Donnelly as TomWilliam Dexter as Dress Shop OwnerCharles Dyer as Man in Photo BoothMargot Thomas as Female TeacherJohn Bluthal as Angry FatherHelen Lennox as Girl in Photo BoothWensley Pithey as TeacherEdgar Wreford as Man in Phone BoothFrank Sieman as SurveyorBruce Lacey as Surveyor's AssistantGeorge Chisholm as Left Luggage PorterPeter Copley as Picture OwnerTimothy Bateson as Junkyard OwnerDandy Nichols as Tom's LandladyWanda Ventham as Gym MistressJulian Holloway as GuardsmanKenneth Farrington as Guardsman Original 1 Sheet Movie Poster Measures 27"x 41" This is a great VINTAGE ORIGINAL 1965 MOVIE POSTER
