HOW I WON THE WAR

Original Belgian 14 inch x 19 inch Poster for the 1967 Richard Lester Wartime Comedy HOW I WON THE WAR, based on the novel by Patrick Ryan and starring Michael Crawford, John Lennon, Roy Kinnear, Lee Montague, Jack MacGowran, Michael Hordern, Jack Hedley, Karl Michael Vogler, Ronald Lacey, James Cossins. Ewan Hooper, Alexander Knox, Robert Hardy, Sheila Hancock, Charles Dyer, Bill Dysart, Paul Daneman, Peter Graves, Richard Pearson. Bryan Pringle, Dandy Nichols, John Junkin and Kenneth Colley.

Pop legend John Lennon stars in his first film performance in this hilariously surreal collage of battle footage and one-liners lampooning the absurdity of the war. Michael Crawford co-stars as an inept WWII commander leading his troops to series of zany misadventures in this satirical war classic.

Poster art by Raymond Elseviers (“Ray”). Belgian painter from Nederokkerzeel, born in 1914. He designed and illustrated over 200 film posters as well as painting large panels used to adorn the facades of cinemas. Most of his posters are signed with the pseudonym “Ray”.

The poster is in very good unfolded (rolled) condition.
