An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) One Eyed Jacks, the 1961 Marlon Brando cowboy western ("The motion picture that starts its own tradition of greatness!"; "Based on the novel 'The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones' By Charles Neider") starring Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Katy Jurado, Ben Johnson, Pina Pellicer (billed as "introducing Pina Pellicer"), Nacho Galindo, Slim Pickens, and Mina Martinez. This bizarre western (which was a fictionalized version of events in the life of Billy the Kid) was, for many years, the record holder for the most amount of footage shot for a single movie. Director Brando apparently shot over 24 hours of footage and his initial cut of the movie ran around 8 hours! Note, too, that planning for the movie began in late 1958 (with Stanley Kubrick as the proposed director), but all the delays, and Brando's endless filming, meant that the movie was not completed until late 1960, and released in 1961. However, some of the movie paper has a 1959 copyright, showing that, at that point, they hoped it would be released either that year or in 1960. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still (and the other stills that carry this paragraph) are from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and all were stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that they came from this legendary collection. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
