A 1971 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47" x 63 1/2") (Learn More) Lawrence of Arabia, the classic 1962 (wide release in the U.S. in 1963) David Lean (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English/U.S. World War I (WWI) desert adventure thriller ("Stands Alone!"; "Unanimously acclaimed as 'One of the all time greatest films!'"; "Best Picture of the Year!"; "Winner of 7 Academy Awards!"; "The motion picture that made great international stars of Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif"; "After five years... The first motion picture from the creators of 'The Bridge On The River Kwai.'"; "A mighty spectacle of action and adventure!"; produced by Sam Spiegel and David Lean; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Jose Ferrer, Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains, Arthur Kennedy, Omar Sharif (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; "as 'Ali'"), Peter O'Toole (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as T.E. Lawrence; billed as "introducing Peter O'Toole as Lawrence"; which is odd, because he had small parts in several movies prior to this one!), and Zia Mohyeddin NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Georges Kerfyser Condition: poor. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines, with some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed onto linen, but at some point after it was backed, it became water stained down the left 3-5" (both the poster and the linen). This is quite noticeable and causes the linen to be quite rippled. I would imagine that a restorer could remove the poster from the old linen and re-back it, repairing the water damaged area, but it might be quite expensive, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept it as it is or are willing to pay the cost of having it re-backed.
