Escape to Victory

About the Item

This is a unique original artwork mixed-media on art board used to create the British 30 x 40 inch film poster for the 1981 film Escape to Victory. This war film was directed by John Huston and stars Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Pelé and Bobby Moore, together with a host of other professional footballers. The film is about a team of Allied World War II prisoners who play a football match against an all-star Nazi team. The Germans planned a spectacular match, and the prisoners planned a spectacular escape. This is a unique original artwork. The majority of original artworks were discarded by the studios, and it is therefore very rare to find one. The poster is conservation framed with UV plexiglass. The size given is before framing. The framed size is 28 x 34 3/4 in. (71.2 x 88.3 cm) The piece would be boxed and shipped by Federal Express.
