That’s right film-lovers, this is the opportunity of a lifetime! Independent Film Legend, Troma Entertainment President, and creator of The Toxic Avenger, Lloyd Kaufman’s very first unprofitable feature film to play in theatres, 1971’s THE BATTLE OF LOVE’S RETURN has been memorialized in this exclusive NTF, which will include OUTRIGHT OWNERSHIP OF THE FILM!!!!! You read that correctly: the (winning bidder/ purchaser) will be granted all rights, title, and interest in and to THE BATTLE OF LOVE’S RETURN including the original negative and a 16mm positive print.

This is a piece of cinematic history, as it is the first motion picture produced and directed by the iconic filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman. Oliver Stone and Lynn Lowery are featured in THE BATTLE OF LOVE'S RETURN, as well as Lloyd himself, and the incomparable Stanley Kaufman (Lloyd’s Dad), in a tour de force performance. Future director Allan Moyle (Pump Up The Volume) also worked on the film as an Assistant Director, and Frank Vitale (East End Hustle) was the director of Photography.

The film was favorably reviewed by Howard Thompson of the New York Times who stated, “Lloyd Kaufman, who made the picture and plays the lead, proves in his commercial venture that he has enough talent to go places”. Judith Crist of New York Magazine, compared Kaufman to Woody Allen and Mel Brooks.The worst review, however, came from Kaufman's father: when asked what his favorite part of the film was, he responded "the part where Lloyd gets killed".

Lloyd Kaufman would probably be furious that we are selling this piece of movie history, but he's 75 years old and going senile, so he probably doesn’t even remember this movie.
