Jones, Albert Dekker, Bo Hopkins, and Lilia Castillo NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is from a special set of 8 stills called "Story-in-Pictures". This was something that was done in the early 1960s. A set of 8 stills were created that were numbered, and they were designed to be placed in the lobbies of theaters in number order, and each of the stills had a long paragraph on the bottom that basically told you the entire story of the movie. I guess these sets were intended to serve as a kind of written preview of the movie with pictures, but apparently, they were not very popular, since I have only seen a few of them (perhaps the problem was that no one at the studio wanted to take the time to create them!). In any event, I think they are pretty cool, and they are definitely far more rare than the regular stills from the corresponding movies (these were made in ADDITION to the regular stills, not in place of them). The still measures 7 3/4" x 9 1/4", but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
