Original Orion Pictures 40×60 Poster for the John Boorman adventure fantasy, EXCALIBUR (1981)starring Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Nicholas Clay, and Nicol Williamson. This film chronicles the legendary sword Excalibur through Arthurian myth from the violent hands of Uther Pendragon to the sword finally being drawn from the stone by Uther’s bastard son Arthur, who uses it to defeat the evil invaders and establish the court at Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. The film is an expert distillation of the essential Arthurian legend. Boorman’s masterful direction, stunning armor and costumes, lavish sets, and Alex Thomson’s beautiful cinematography for which he received an Academy Award nomination—all work together to evoke a mythic splendor and power. This original 40×60 poster is rolled and in very fine, really excellent, condition. The art on this beautiful poster is by Bob Peak.
