'The Great Escape' Original Vintage US One Sheet Movie Poster, 1963
About the Item
Best known for his action packed James Bond posters, American artist Frank McCarthy's dynamic design for John Sturges' spectacular 1963 wartime adventure 'The Great Escape' features king of cool Steve McQueen front and centre, leading co-stars James Garner, Richard Attenborough and their fellow prisoners of war in their legendary escape from a German cap during World War II. McQueen cemented his superstardom as the daredevil Captain Hilts, whose irreverence towards Nazi authority repeatedly lands him in solitary confinement, earning him the nickname 'The Cooler King,' before gunning his motorcycle over a barbed wire fence in the film's most iconic stunt. A fictionalised account of the daring true-life breakout from German POW camp Stalag Luft III, during which 250 men attempted to tunnel their way to freedom, the rousing ensemble adventure has become a beloved fixture of family TV viewing, voted third in a 2006 poll of the films British families would most want to sit down together to watch at Christmas.
