MYSTERIOUS ISLAND OF CAPTAIN NEMO 1973 Omar Sharif US 1-SHEET POSTER

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1973 Juan Antonio Bardem & Henri Colpi Sci-Fi Adventure THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND OF CAPTAIN NEMO (LA ISLA MISTERIOSA), based on the novel by Jules Verne and starring Omar Sharif, Ambroise Bia, Jess Hahn, Philippe Nicaud, Gérard Tichy, Gabriele Tinti, Rafael Bardem Jr., Mariano Vidal Molina and Rik Battaglia.

The film was unusually faithful to the original book, including the exterior design of the Nautilus. Deviations from the original book were either limited to budget restrictions or moderate artistic liberty. While it seems not credible that the Nemo of the book achieved various physically demanding stunts (considering he was weakened and subsequently dying of old age), Omar Sharif is much younger, relies on what's left of his crew (killed by some kind of disease, most likely radiation poisoning) and eventually shares the same fate as his counterpart James Mason in the 1954 Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
