An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) John Steinbeck's East of Eden, the classic 1955 Elia Kazan (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) California World War I (WWI) era romantic love triangle family relationship melodrama ("John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden' is a story of explosive passions and Elia Kazan has made it into a picture of staggering power!"; "Sometimes you can't tell who's good and who's bad!..."; "Elia Kazan's explosive production of John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden'"; "The new hit- The biggest hit- From the Academy Award Director of 'On the Waterfront,' Elia Kazan!"; "Of what a girl did - what a boy did - of ecstasy and revenge..."; "Warner Bros. present it in an intimate new use of CinemaScope and Warnercolor"; adapted from the classic novel by John Steinbeck) starring Julie Harris, James Dean (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "In his very first picture - A very special star!"), Raymond Massey, Burl Ives, Richard Davalos, Jo Van Fleet (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Lois Smith, and Timothy Carey. Note that there is an unusual element to this movie, which is that Elia Kazan had Warner Bros. buy the rights to this classic novel, and then he essentially junked around 90% of it, focusing on a small section of the book! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is clearly a candid still from East of Eden, because it has that movie's still code in the lower right. However, it shows Dean in an exercise room or gym, and he is swinging on a rope next to parallel bars, and we have not seen this image (or one like it) before. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm]. Condition: good. The still was glued to a stiff backing board, and it almost certainly could not be easily removed (and it would likely be a professional who could remove it at all). It displays pretty well as it is, but the glue has caused the still to ripple, especially in the top 3", including in Dean's hair, but not his face. The ripples (and some additional smudges and scuffs) are not that noticeable when the still is looked at straight on. Learn More about condition grades
