This poster for Ryan’s Daughter is at Whyte’s Eclectic Collector sale in Dublin on May 5. Shot on location in Kerry the 1970 film starring Robert Mitchum and Trevor Howard won two Oscars (Best Supporting Actor and Cinematography).
Directed by David Lean and set in 1917/18 the epic romantic drama tells the story of an affair between a married Irish woman and a British Army officer during World War 1.
