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 twelve special posters created for this classic movie. Nine of the posters display artwork of one of the lead characters by Maciek Piotrowski, and one is a "title" poster and there are also two "scene" posters in the set. The nine artwork images also appear in tiny size on the U.S. style C one-sheet. These twelve special posters were printed in Italy, but for use in English speaking countries, and each of the artwork posters have the actor and character's name at the bottom in English. The poster offered here is the one of Julie Christie, who played Lara, and we have have only auctioned two examples of this poster before (once in 2009 and in a set of nine in 2015!). Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has light and fine creases scattered throughout with some fold and border wear. There is a patch of surface paper loss at left in Christie's hair and tiny area of paper loss at right. The lower edge has "softened" somewhat and it has some tiny tears and slight discoloration. After proper restoration the rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades ![]()
