Original three sheet poster for THE GREAT ESCAPE, John Sturges timeless film about tireless and determined Allied prisoners of war who plan an elaborate escape from a Nazi prisoner of war camp. An all star cast was assembled including James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Donald, Charles Bronson and Donald Pleasance. But it was Steve McQueen who, in this film, permanently cemented super-star status and became the first real motorcyling icon since Brando had intimidated rural California folk in THE WILD ONE. McQueen's cross-country motorcycling was the exciting climax of Sturges lively and suspenseful tale of Allied soldiers who could be kept pinned down or penned up. This original three sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
