Original Columbia Pictures Italian 39x55 Poster for the David Lean war epic, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA starring Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains, Jose Ferrer, Jack Hawkins, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif. This film is the unforgettable biography of the flamboyant and controversial British military officer and his conflicted loyalties. With a brilliant script by Robert Bolt, a stunning score by Maurice Jarre, and unbelievably beautiful cinematography by Freddie Young, this film is considered to be the greatest adventure-biography ever filmed. The sweeping desert vistas totally immerse the viewer, and the battle scenes are among the most realistic of the era. It was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won seven - including Best Picture, Best Director for Lean, Best Score for Jarre, and Best Color Cinematography for Young. The poster is called a two-foglio although the poster is printed on one panel The film was released in Italy for the first time after the Academy Awards and thus the Oscars are mentioned on the poster. The art on this poster is by Angelo Cesselon. Superb! Peter O'Toole is shown on the poster as Lawrence in his robe and there are also color images of Alec Guinness and Anthony Quinn. This poster was used in a theater and shows modest signs of general wear. In addition there is some scotch tape on the corners. In addition, there is a small paper sticker on the front of the poster which should be removied. We recommend linen-backing for this poster and we know that the poster would look very fine if backed. MovieArt Austin guarantees that this poster is an authentic Italian 39x55 for this film, first release. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions.
