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: Maciek Piotrowski Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a set of nine special posters created for this classic movie. Eight of the posters each display artwork of one of the lead characters by M. Piotrowski, and the ninth poster was a "title" poster. These eight images also appear in tiny size on the style C one-sheet. These nine special posters were printed in Italy, but for use in English speaking countries, and each had the actor's name and the character's name at the bottom in English. The poster offered here is the one of Julie Christie, who played Lara. Condition: good to very good. The poster had several smaller tears in the right of the bottom border. There were some 1/2" to 1" tears in the left and right borders. The poster was once lightly partially folded vertically slightly to the left of center. There were many scuffs scattered throughout the image, but they show most in the solid black areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Linenbacking has reduced quite a bit how noticeable the above defects are, and although you can still see signs of them, they are not very distracting from any reasonable viewing distance.
