This is a Belgian poster for David Lean’s classic.
Lean’s 1962 multi-Oscar winning movie is epic in every sense – from run-time to the vision and scale of its action sequences. It also features one of the all-time great lead performances from Peter O’Toole in the title role, and one of the most remarkable supporting casts ever.
The musical score by Maurice Jarre is also one of the most famous of all-time.
I remember going to see this one in the cinema. It was so long, it had an intermission! Years later, I was fortunate enough to see O’Toole up close in a one-man play in London. He was a captivating performer, for sure.
The Belgian poster sold at auction a few months back, but I also have this Spanish herald (postcard sized flyer) for sale here.
