Only the girl with the lying-green eyes knew why!"; "Fighting Wild! Loving Wild!"; "Drink the Mexican beer, smoke the black cigar, wipe the blood off your chin. Live on a time-bomb beyond the border - sweat out the brawls, the bandits, the heat. Get mad - get wild - get killed - but don't touch her kind of woman!"; "The gringo giant was mad!"; "The whole black-gold border knew he was on a rampage-only the lady with the lying-green eyes knew why!"; "Filmed in Mexico and presented by Warner Bros."; "Written by Philip Yordan"; about a pair of oil drillers who are working in South America, and their well is destroyed, and they go to work for an untrustworthy man, and there are several sexy women involved!) starring Gary Cooper ("New Glory for Gary! Winner of this year's 'BEST ACTOR' Academy Award"), Barbara Stanwyck, Ruth Roman, Anthony Quinn, and Ward Bond. Note that this movie was set in an unspecified South American country, and it was filmed on location in Mexico. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us! So it is an original still from 1953, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
