Original Official Advance Release Theatrical Poster for the December 8, 1982 U.S. theater release of the film " Sophie's Choice ". Sophie's Choice is a 1982 American film, a quasi-existentialist drama that tells the story of a Polish immigrant, Sophie, and her tempestuous lover who share a boarding house with a young writer in Brooklyn. The film stars Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol. Alan J. Pakula directed the film and wrote the script from a novel by William Styron, also called Sophie's Choice. Meryl Streep's performance was stunning, and it won her the Academy Award for Best Actress, and is considered among the best performances in the history of film. The film was nominated for Best Cinematography (Néstor Almendros), Costume Design (Albert Wolsky), Best Music (Marvin Hamlisch), and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium (Alan J. Pakula). The studio behind the film was ITC Entertainment, the famous British company presided over (until late 1981) by Lord Grade, the television and film 'mogul'. Lord Grade was very influential in bringing the film to the 'big screen'. William Styron wrote the novel with Ursula Andress in mind for the part of Sophie, but Meryl Streep was very determined to get the role. After she obtained a bootlegged copy of the script, she went after Alan J. Pakula and threw herself on the ground, begging him to give her the part.[2] Pakula’s first choice was Liv Ullmann for her ability to project the foreignness that would add to her appeal in the eyes of an impressionable, romantic Southerner. Streep filmed the "choice" scene in one take. Being a mother herself, she found shooting the scene extremely painful and emotionally draining and refused to do it again. Streep's characterization of Sophie was voted the third greatest movie performance of all time by Premiere Magazine.This Original Poster is printed in Brilliant Beautiful Razor-sharp 6 color production on thick advertising poster stock paper and is Rolled with no folds.
