Important Added Info: Note that James Dean tragically died after completing three movies, but before the last two were even released. So Warner Bros. was afraid that his death would mean the movies would do poorly, but to their surprise, all three of the movies became major hits, and the nation saw an intense interest in Dean after his death, the likes of which has never happened before or since! So in 1957, they re-released "East of Eden", his first movie, to theaters! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.
