An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this classic movie was released at the end of 1962, to qualify for the Academy Awards. Two different styles of one-sheet posters were created for that "pre-Awards" release, and then after it won seven Academy Awards, two new one-sheets were created, both referencing the Academy Awards that the movie had won. The pre-Awards one-sheets are far more rare and far more desirable to collectors, because far fewer examples of them are known to exist, and they are among the most desirable of all 1960s posters! The poster offered here is the pre-Awards "silhouette style" one-sheet (it does not have a style letter on it). Condition: very good. There is some faint water staining surrounding the top and bottom crossfolds, which has caused the paper to be slightly rippled and creased in those areas, and there is only the slightest of discoloration in either area. There are also some minor creases and smudges along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster. This poster's defects are truly the sort that respond wonderfully to expert restoration! After a simple linenbacking or paperbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look incredible, and there should be virtually no paint restoration required anywhere in the poster! I feel confident in saying that if I saw this poster after it was linenbacked I would grade it as "very good to fine"! Learn More about condition grades
