An Original Vintage Theatrical English/U.S. Color 8" x 10" Movie Still #9 (EngUS 8x10; printed in England for use in the United States) (Learn More) Green Mansions, the 1959 Mel Ferrer South America Amazon Jungle romantic melodrama ("Green Mansions... the forbidden forests beyond the Amazon"; "W.H. Hudson's unforgettable story of South America... Of Rima, mysterious as she was beautiful... Of the Strange Secret that lay hidden in a forgotten land unknown to man."; "All the adventure and romance of W.H. Hudson's unforgettable story."; "Based On the Novel by William Henry Hudson"; about a young man who encounters a mysterious girl who lives in the Amazon Jungle, and he falls madly in love with her) starring Audrey Hepburn, Anthony Perkins, Sessue Hayakawa, Lee J. Cobb, and Henry Silva. Note that this was originally going to be filmed in 1932 with Joel McCrea and Dolores Del Rio, but the project never got made. In the 1950s, Vincente Minnelli originally started making this movie with Pier Angeli and Edmund Purdom starring, but MGM chiefs hated the early footage, and cancelled the production. Mel Ferrer revived it for his wife Audrey Hepburn, and she turned down the lead role in "The Diary of Anne Frank" to make this. Sadly, it was a massive flop, losing around $2.5 million, a massive amount of money at that time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that although this still was "printed in Great Britain", it has full NSS information. Perhaps it was intended to be used in both countries (we have heard from collectors who saw these color stills in U.S. theaters at the time the movies were released, but we have not heard from any English collectors as to whether they were used in England at that time). If any English collector knows if this was or was not used in English theaters when the movies were released, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fine. Note that we show a scan of the front of the still, with a scan of the back of the still beneath it (even if the back is completely blank), so you can see what is on both sides of the still, and also better judge the condition of the still.
