A Limited Edition Art Print (signed by artist Jeff Kleinsmith; 40/125; measures 24" x 36" [61 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Bridge on the River Kwai, the classic 1958 David Lean (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English/U.S. World War II (WWII) military Japanese prison camp sabotage thriller ("Decades from now, motion pictures will proudly claim to be 'In the great tradition of 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'"; "A masterpiece of filmcraft that you will want to see again and again!"; "Screenplay by Pierre Boulle Based on His Novel"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring William Holden, Alec Guinness (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jack Hawkins, Sessue Hayakawa (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; but should have WON the Academy Award), James Donald, Ann Sears, and Geoffrey Horne (billed as "introducing Geoffrey Horne"). Note that this film premiered in England in October of 1957, and had a very limited release in the U.S. in December (to qualify for the Academy Awards), but the U.S. wide-release took place in 1958. Also, note that Pierre Boulle is credited as the screenwriter and won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay despite his lack of involvement in the movie itself (he wrote the novel the movie is based on). The actual screenwriters were Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson, but they were blacklisted and ineligible for screen credit. In 1984, the Academy retroactively awarded the Oscar to Wilson and Foreman.

This art print is one of the 270 Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse art prints in eMoviePoster.com's "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction". What is the special auction? First, some background: In December 2020 eMoviePoster.com auctioned 2,346 Mondo art prints (from the collection of Mondo founder, Tim League), and they sold for $732,660.00! But Mr. League mostly only gave us prints from 2013 to 2020, because the ones from before that time (back to 2004!) were ones he either only had one of, or very few. NOW WE HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED A COLLECTION OF 257 PRINTS, MOSTLY ALL BOUGHT DIRECTLY FROM MONDO, AND ALL BUT 12 ARE FROM BETWEEN 2004 AND 2012! These are the "rarest of the rare", and hardly ever change hands, and when they do it is usually for lots of money! But, as with all eMoviePoster.com auctions, ALL of these started at $1, with NO reserves and NO buyers premiums! The 257 auctions in this "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction" are the first 257 lots at the start of eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction, and all the auctions end April 17, beginning at 7 PM Central Time. Condition: fine. The art print is in very nice condition and it displays quite well (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
