Quadrophenia (1979)

Original UK 1979 hard-stock World-Northal export-only Front of House Card.

Phil Daniels’ Jimmy and Leslie Ash’s Steph caught in a moment of pure, chaotic joy. Surrounded by their parka-clad brethren, the image perfectly distills the seductive, adrenaline-pumping rush of youth rebellion and tribal belonging that momentarily masks the protagonist's deep-seated working-class alienation. Produced exclusively for overseas theatrical promotion, these export lobby cards were issued in limited numbers and are considerably scarcer than standard UK publicity material.

While the film is anchored by Phil Daniels' gritty, everyman performance, Quadrophenia is equally legendary for providing the cinematic debut of Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting. Cast as the impeccably tailored, enigmatic "Ace Face",the undisputed king of the Brighton Mod scene. Sting brought an aloof, magnetic charisma to the role just as his band, The Police, were skyrocketing to global fame.
