Note that Newman has regularly made great fun of this movie, often calling it the worst movie made in the 1950s, and when it ran on television, he placed ads in newspapers urging people not to watch it.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a test photo used to show one of the many costumes that Paul Newman wore during this movie (the stars would put on each costume and stand next to a board with the details of when that costume was used in the movie, and then they would try on a different one and repeat the process, until they had tried on all their costumes; I wonder if major stars of today have to endure this same ritual?). Also note that this wardrobe test photo measures 4" x 5 1/4" [10 x 13 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
