An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Advance One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) John Cassavetes' Shadows, the classic 1959 John Cassavetes New York City counter-culture interracial romantic love triangle family relationship melodrama starring Lelia Goldoni, Ben Carruthers, Hugh Hurd, Anthony Ray, Dennis Sallas, Tom Allen, Rupert Crosse, Greta Thyssen. Note that John Cassavetes first filmed this in 1956 and 1957 (he had appeared on Jean Shepherd's radio show, and raised the seed money for the movie from Shepherd's "Night People"!). He completed it in 1957, but was unhappy with it, and he shelved it, and in 1959, he re-shot much of it, and it was released in New York (and was released in other countries two years later in 1961). The success of this movie got Cassavetes a Hollywood contract to direct "Too Late Blues" in 1961 and "A Child is Waiting" in 1963. Decades later, a copy of the 1957 version of "Shadows" was discovered, and there has been a restoration of the movie using various surviving prints. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
