Offered is the rarely seen U.S. 1 sheet for THE JAMES DEAN STORY released by Warner Brothers in 1957. We grade this guaranteed original movie poster to be in Good to Very Good condition only. There is slight discoloration to the paper, which has lost some of it's suppleness. Please note the pin holes pin in each corner with some slight paper loss. Cross folds, seen in close up in pics 6 to 8 show decent integrity with mild stress but no loss of paper fortunately. The paper has some dirt smudges but shows nice color, and the image of James Dean smoking a heater is just so 1950's! That said, we grade this truly rare poster a bit lower than we'd like, as it had seen heavy theater use, so Good to Very Good condition as mentioned before. Standard 1 sheet size at 27"x41", folded and single sided. The film's National Screen Service number, 57/439 is stamped on the verso, and as the paper is on the thin side, it bleeds through slightly. THE JAMES DEAN STORY would be a great candidate for conservation backing, and could be done with minimal to no restoration at all. 24 year old James Dean died in a car accident a few days after wrapping the filming of "Giant" on September 30, 1955. When a young Robert Altman heard the news of Dean's death, he and friend George W. George set out to make a documentary on store the young star's life. Warner Brothers had envisioned a bio-pic on Dean at one point but instead got behind the documentary. With a script by Stewart Stern, THE JAMES DEAN STORY was co-directed by Robert Altman and George W. George and narrated by actor Martin Gabel.

Condition Grades

Mint - An unused poster, almost as pristine as when initially printed. Exceedingly difficult grade to achieve.

Near Mint - Unused or carefully used, but showing some minor signs of age or storage wear. The folds on the poster should be clean - that is standard and not considered a flaw for pre-1980's movie posters.

Very Fine - Movie poster shows minimal signs of wear and usage with no pin holes, fold damage or paper loss. The image area should be clean and bright, the paper supple, not brittle.

Fine - A poster in average used condition. Movie poster might show pinholes in the corners, edge wear, small tears on edges or image area and minor discoloration.

Very Good - Below average condition due to being heavily used, but with little paper loss. Paper may show slight stains, soiling and larger pinholes in corners and small holes in the image area proper. Movie poster may also have defects such as light ink markings, tape on the back of the paper and substantial border damage. A poster in this category may be a restoration candidate.

Good - A very heavily used, worn and brittle movie poster. Paper may be missing chunks of paper, show heavy dirt, water stains and/or significant discoloration.

Fair - Heavily used as above with tape on verso or on front of poster with a substantial number of holes in poster, especially in image area.

Poor - Poster may have substantial paper and ink loss. A poster that has been heavily water damaged, or has been heavily stained. A poster with foreign material in substantial amounts, such as paint or marker on front or back of the paper. A dry mounted movie poster or one that has been laminated would fall into this category.
