An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Rebel Without a Cause, the classic 1955 Nicholas Ray romantic troubled teen family relationship melodrama ("The reception committee for the new kid on the block!"; "The overnight sensation of 'East of Eden' becomes the star of the year!"; "Warner Brothers put all the force of the screen into a challenging drama of today's juvenile violence!"; "Warner Bros'. challenging drama of today's dammit, juvenile violence!"; "...and they both come from 'good' families"; "Their families gave them everything -but a good example!"; "This is Jim Stark, teenager --from a 'good' family--"; "He was new on the block, the pretty girl belonged to the leader of the gang, and the leader of the gang called him 'chicken' to his face..."; "This is how a teen-war starts!"; "Jim Stark - a kid from a 'good' family - what makes him tick... Like a bomb?") starring James Dean ("The star sensation of 'East of Eden'!"), Natalie Wood (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Sal Mineo (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Jim Backus, Edward Platt, Dennis Hopper (in a bit part as one of the "goons"), Ann Doran, Corey Allen, William Hopper, Jack Grinnage, Frank Mazzola, and Ian Wolfe NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: There are two versions of this one-sheet. One version has a tagline just under Dean's credit that reads "The overnight sensation of 'East of Eden' becomes the star of the year!". When Dean passed away while the movie was still in first release, someone at the studio thought the tagline was now in bad taste, and new one-sheets were printed that only had the first half of the tagline, "The overnight sensation of 'East of Eden'. So there are one-sheets with the full tagline and others with the shorter one. There are also ones that originally had the full tagline, but the last half of it was sniped over (no doubt because the studio recommended it). This poster is the one that was printed with just the first part of the tagline. We don't know of collectors who value the two versions differently, but bear this in mind if you do care! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had separation, small tears, and paper loss on parts of all the folds. It had a long irregular tear starting in the left border to the left of the top of the title, and running up through the tagline area to Dean's sleeve, with some paper loss along that tear. There were also pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Surprisingly, the poster displays pretty well in spite of its many defects, but you can clearly see signs of the restoration, so many people would likely want to choose to have the poster re-backed. In any event, please read the above carefully before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
