It has been 60 years since the release of David Lean's epic which won seven Oscars® including Best Cinematography for Freddie Young. The iconic shot of Omar Sharif emerging from the mirage was achieved by Young with a custom 482mm lens which is affectionately known as the "David Lean lens" among cinematographers. This complete set of eight US Lobby Cards feature many of the awe-inspiring landscape shots that are a testament to Lean and his unique eye for scale.
