Original Columbia Pictures 40x60 Roadshow 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. This original 40x60 Roadshow poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition. While all Roadshow LAWRENCE posters are coveted, the 40x60 with the Howard Terpning art is extremely rare - and spectacular.
