Footnotes

"If 1,200 men couldn't hold a defensive position this morning, what chance have we with one hundred?"
- Lt. Gonville Bromhead [Sir Michael Caine]

The BAFTA award-nominated war epic was one of Sir Michael Caine's first starring roles on the big screen, as the steely Lieutenant Bromhead. Zulu depicts the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift, which saw a small number of British soldiers defend a field hospital from thousands of Zulu warriors against seemingly insurmountable odds.

The dramatic artwork was designed by Mauro Colizzi, a prominent poster artist for Italian cinema in the 1960's. In addition to Zulu, Colizzi's other designs include the Italian releases of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963).

Due to the fragility of the present Lot, the poster is being archivally restored and backed on linen.
