Note that there is an unusual element to this movie, which is that Elia Kazan had Warner Bros. buy the rights to this classic novel, and then he essentially junked around 90% of it, focusing on a small section of the book. However, Steinbeck had no hard feelings about this, especially because Kazan persuaded him to take a percentage of the profits of the movie as partial payment, and that proved very lucrative to Steinbeck, and the two became very good friends and neighbors!

Important Added Info: Note that first release Japanese posters from this movie are incredibly rare (perhaps that is because there were three different re-releases of this movie in the 1960s and 1970s). We have NEVER before auctioned this Japanese B2 poster (we had once auctioned the Japanese two-panel poster, five years ago, and it auctioned for $1,307!

It has a faint partial diagonal fold in the top right corner and a few faint creases scattered in the image. It had three tiny tears in the borders and someone put three tiny pieces of tape on the back of those tears. Learn More about condition grades
