An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 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

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that part of the tagline just above the title has been overprinted! It originally read: "The overnight sensation of 'East of Eden' becomes the star of the year!", but the second half of the tagline was overprinted, no doubt because Dean died a month before the movie was released (but after the posters were prepared), and no doubt someone at the studio thought the tagline was now in bad taste. Depending on how you look at it, this is either a cool addition to the poster or a defect. Please do not bid on the poster unless you can accept that it is overprinted in this area. Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has creases, smudges, and scuffs around the edges, with a few small tears in the borders. It has a very few smudges and scuffs in the image areas, but there is a slightly diagonal vertical scuff running down the lower part of Dean's figure at center.
