Reach for the Sky

Superbly painted full colour portrait of Kenneth More in his finest role as the hero Douglas Bader in this 1956 film poster for the Second World War biographical drama film "Reach for the Sky". When remembering that this film was made in black and white the depth of colours here are truly amazing. Douglas Bader overcame the loss of his legs in a pre-war flying accident and his determination led him to become one of the RAF's most decorated heroes of all time. This magnificent film poster even pictures the novel which was the biography by Paul Brickhill together with the Rank logo at the foot of the poster. This British crown film poster has been backed onto linen by Studio C of California and is ready for framing.
