Rebel Without a Cause 1955 James Dean Original “Flat” Halfsheet
Rebel Without a Cause (Warner Brothers, 1955), Half Sheet (22″ X 28″). This poster is an original 1955 rolled and framed half sheet. IT IS NOT A REPRINT OR REPRODUCTION. This is truly an investment grade movie poster.
This wonderful half sheet captures James Dean’s enduring legacy with a haunting montage of the rebel icon. Rebel posters are most often seen as one sheets or inserts but seldom as half sheets. Also note that the image is unique for the half sheet and in my opinion, the best of the lot. In addition, most Rebel posters are folded and it is very rare to find an original that is rolled.
“Rebel Without a Cause” was written as a case history in 1944 by Dr. Robert Lindner. Originally intended to star Marlon Brando, the project was shelved until the tremendous success of the “The Wild One” opened the floodgates for films about crazy mixed-up teens. Nicholas Ray was working on a similar project when he was hired to direct this film and brought along his star, James Dean, who had just completed “East Of Eden” for Warner. Released right after James Dean’s untimely death, “Rebel Without a Cause” netted an enormous profit.
According to Yahoo movies, “The age-old theme of teenage violence and delinquency is given distinctive insight by the well-cast Dean-Wood-Mineo trio. Perhaps the best teen-age drama of the 1950s. Academy Award Nominations: Best Supporting Actor–Sal Mineo, Best Supporting Actress–Natalie Wood, Best Motion Picture Story.”
This poster measures 32 1/2″ X 26 1/2″ including the frame. It is double matted and looks supurb. Colors are sharp and vivid. Great for any James Dean or movie poster collector. These are scarce and appreciating in value. I guarantee the authenticity of this original Rebel Without a Cause halfsheet.
