An Original Vintage Theatrical Color 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still #9 (Learn More) Green Mansions, the 1959 Mel Ferrer South America Amazon Jungle romantic melodrama ("Green Mansions... the forbidden forests beyond the Amazon"; "W.H. Hudson's unforgettable story of South America... Of Rima, mysterious as she was beautiful... Of the Strange Secret that lay hidden in a forgotten land unknown to man."; "All the adventure and romance of W.H. Hudson's unforgettable story."; "Based On the Novel by William Henry Hudson"; about a young man who encounters a mysterious girl who lives in the Amazon Jungle, and he falls madly in love with her) starring Audrey Hepburn, Anthony Perkins, Sessue Hayakawa, Lee J. Cobb, and Henry Silva. Note that this was originally going to be filmed in 1932 with Joel McCrea and Dolores Del Rio, but the project never got made. In the 1950s, Vincente Minnelli originally started making this movie with Pier Angeli and Edmund Purdom starring, but MGM chiefs hated the early footage, and cancelled the production. Mel Ferrer revived it for his wife Audrey Hepburn, and she turned down the lead role in "The Diary of Anne Frank" to make this. Sadly, it was a massive flop, losing around $2.5 million, a massive amount of money at that time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that although this still was "printed in Great Britain", it has full NSS information. We have been told by an expert that Columbia and MGM had a number of their color stills printed in Great Britain in the late 1950s and the early 1960s (the years vary between the two studios), no doubt because the English color printing was better than the U.S. color printing at this time. However, they were printed in Great Britain to be used in the U.S. (we have heard from many collectors who saw these color stills in U.S. theaters at the time these movies were released, but we have not heard from any English collectors who saw them used in England at that time). In the late 1960s and 1970s some studios started printing color stills like these in Italy, surely for the same reason (because Italian printers had better color printing during those years). But those stills printed in Italy were for use in the U.S., as these stills printed in Great Britain were for use in the U.S. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition!
