An Undated (probably 1957) Re-release Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) John Steinbeck's East of Eden, the classic 1955 Elia Kazan (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) California World War I (WWI) era romantic love triangle family relationship melodrama ("John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden' is a story of explosive passions and Elia Kazan has made it into a picture of staggering power!"; "Sometimes you can't tell who's good and who's bad!..."; "Elia Kazan's explosive production of John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden'"; "The new hit- The biggest hit- From the Academy Award Director of 'On the Waterfront,' Elia Kazan!"; "Of what a girl did - what a boy did - of ecstasy and revenge..."; "Warner Bros. present it in an intimate new use of CinemaScope and Warnercolor"; adapted from the classic novel by John Steinbeck) starring Julie Harris, James Dean (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "In his very first picture - A very special star!"), Raymond Massey, Burl Ives, Richard Davalos, Jo Van Fleet (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Lois Smith, and Timothy Carey. 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 this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was used in French speaking parts of Canada, but it was printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us! So it is an original still from the 1957 re-release of this movie, but it was printed for use in parts of Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
