Italian 4-Fogli (55" x 78")
Very Fine- Folded; Artwork by Luigi Martinati
Warner Bros., R-1960

This exquisite large format Italian poster features artwork by Luigi Martinati and was printed for the film's 1960 Italian reissue. Printed on two sheets, this example is in excellent unrestored condition and exhibits border pinholes, small tears and creases. There is general fold wear with light crimping and areas of separation that are reinforced on the verso with clear tape. The image is spectacular and this is a sought-after image on the legendary James Dean.

The title alone summed up a generation of youth without direction, and their patron saint was James Dean. Dean rose to stardom in East of Eden the previous year, depicting a young man searching for direction and acceptance. With Rebel without a Cause, Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo solidified the persona of misunderstood youth and became the idols and symbols of teens across America.
