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: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: good. This poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. It appears to have had the following defects: The poster was very tattered around all the borders and had stains, smudges, and creases in all the white background areas and along the foldlines. Whoever linenbacked the poster chose to paint over all the white areas of the poster. They did a good job, as from any distance away the poster looks pretty nice! From close up you can see the restoration along the folds. Within the large Dean image at right there was a 10" tear that started in the top right corner and extends into Dean's forehead and there was a hole in Dean's right hand. Again, these areas were restored about as well as could be expected. While one would of course prefer a better condition copy of this poster, it does look good from any distance away, and I would think many collectors would be happy to have it on their wall (and there is truly not much paint on any of the writing or in the images)!
