Base painting of the vintage movie poster for ''Isla Misteriosa y el capitan nemo la'', (The Mysterious Island and Captain Nemo,) a 1973 Spanish-Mexican adventure film directed by Juan Antonio Bardem and Henri Colpi. The film is loosely based on Jules Verne's novels "The Mysterious Island" and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea."
The story follows a group of shipwrecked survivors who find themselves stranded on a remote island in the South Pacific. Among them is Captain Cyrus Smith (played by Omar Sharif), a resourceful leader who leads the group in their struggle for survival.
As they explore the island, the survivors encounter a series of mysterious phenomena and dangerous creatures, including a giant crab and a volcano on the verge of eruption. Along the way, they also uncover clues that suggest the island may be inhabited by the enigmatic Captain Nemo, the legendary submarine commander from Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea."
Omar Sharif delivers a commanding performance as Captain Smith, portraying him as a courageous and charismatic leader determined to guide his companions to safety. His portrayal captures the essence of the character's intelligence and resilience, earning him praise from audiences and critics alike.
"Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo, La" combines elements of adventure, mystery, and science fiction, creating an immersive and thrilling cinematic experience. The film's exotic locations, impressive special effects, and stirring musical score contribute to its sense of wonder and excitement, transporting viewers to a fantastical world of danger and discovery.
While the film takes liberties with Verne's original stories, it remains a captivating adaptation that pays homage to the spirit of his timeless tales. With its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and stunning visuals, "Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo, La" continues to entertain audiences as a classic adventure film.

About the artist:
Francisco Fernández-Zarza Pérez (1922, Madrid – May 12, 1992), better known as "Jano," was a Spanish film poster artist, one of the most highly regarded of his time along with Soligó and Macario Quibus, aka "Mac."
The large number of artworks created by Fernando Zarza, known as "Jano," makes it complex to define the unitary aspects of his style. Lively, dynamic, and with intricate compositions, Jano is one of the favorite designers in the panorama of Spanish cinema. He created movie posters that are realistic and photographic and others more caricatured; he realized sensual female portraits but also conceptual images, characterized by few elements and characters.
What strikes you when you look at one of his works is the feeling of movement, dynamism, the vitality of his compositions. Scenes, settings, and protagonists fit together following different directives and vanishing points. The chaos of elements and colors makes Jano's posters a loud set of faces. But in this chaos, there is life, true action.
During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, Jano worked as an illustrator for Republican magazines, which caused him to be imprisoned. In the 1950s, he worked as a comic book cover artist for publishers such as "Dollar." However, his skill in film advertising made him the preferred poster artist for many Spanish studios.
In 2006, Montserrat published a book featuring 221 actors painted by Jano. In 2014, an exhibition was held in his honor titled "Jano Movie Faces, 20 Posters to Remember". He also taught painting courses at the University of Madrid.
