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 NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some creases and tiny tears in the blank borders and some creases and faint scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. There is a tagline on the poster that was overprinted (see above for a complete explanation). The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
