An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded German "A0" Movie Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47" [84 x 119 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.

There are a few pin holes and some tiny tears around the edges of the poster and there are some very minor creases along the foldlines and edges, but they are not very noticeable or distracting. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
