An Original 1966 (from the first release of this movie in the U.K.) Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, the classic 1965 David Lean (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English romantic Soviet Russia epic ("A Love Caught in the Fire of Revolution"; "Turbulent were the times and fiery was the love story of Zhivago, his wife... And the passionate tender Lara."; "From the most acclaimed novel of our time!"; "From the most acclaimed novel of our time come these brilliant character portrayals"; "The entertainment event of the year!"; "Based on the novel by Boris Pasternak"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Geraldine Chaplin ("as Tonya... Zhivago's gentle and adoring wife who endures his love for Lara, and pledges her love to him for all eternity."), Julie Christie ("as Lara... Zhivago's great love; She learns of life from Komarovsky, and, through Zhivago's love, becomes a woman of compassion."), Tom Courtenay (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; "as Pasha... The young, idealist student, who marries Lara, and later becomes the fanatic and embittered General Strelnikov."), Alec Guinness ("as Yevgraf... Zhivago's somber and mysterious half-brother; dedicated to the Party but never ceasing to care for Zhivago."), Siobhan McKenna ("as Anna... Tonya's mother, who brought young Zhivago into here family after the death of his mother, and raised him as a son."), Ralph Richardson ("as Alexander... Tonya's father, a cultivated, well-to-do professor, who loves the adopted Zhivago as his own son."), Omar Sharif (in the title role "as Zhivago... a man of peace drawn into the turmoil of war; a man of integrity and depth, torn by a love for two women."), Rod Steiger ("as Komarovsky... the shrewd opportunist lawyer who survives all regimes. Tiring of his mistress, he turns to her daughter, Lara."), Rita Tushingham ("as The Girl... born of the revolution and found years later: a shy girl, never to know if she is the child of Zhivago and Lara."), Klaus Kinski, and Ingrid Pitt. Note that David Lean had shot Lawrence of Arabia in "Super Panavision 70", which was a 70mm process, and of course, that movie was a great success. He wanted to shoot this movie the exact same way, but MGM refused, and it was shot in "regular" 35mm Panavision. There are some English posters that were printed with "Super Panavision" on them, but the "Super" is blacked over on them (and the first release U.S. posters have solely "Panavision" on them). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Howard Terpning Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie! As noted above, the poster was originally printed with "70mm PANAVISION", but the movie was not shot using that process, so rather than print new posters, the word "70mm" was blacked over. This is on almost all examples of this poster we have seen (one that we auctioned in April of 2021 had "SUPER" blacked out instead of 70mm), so it is not a defect. Condition: good to very good. The poster has light fold and border wear and a few tiny tears along portions of the upper edge. It has tiny brown dot stains on back of the folds at upper left (a few show through to the front at center left, affecting a small areas of Christie's left cheek and some background areas, but the others are not very noticeable or distracting at all). There are tiny brown dot stains in the lower border area but they only affect blank paper. Overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition and it displays well as is, but after a simple linenbacking (at which time the few tiny stains could be removed chemically) the poster would look fantastic!
