Year: 1957

Description
A powerful poster illustration which incorporates the title into the design & conjures an idea of the great expanses worked by America's cattle ranchers. Putzu also highlights the three leads in the film: Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson & James Dean. This was James Dean's 3rd & final starring role in a film (following "East of Eden" 1955 & "Rebel Without a Cause" 1956) as shortly before filming was completed he crashed his Porsche & killed himself. The untimely demise cemented Dean's place as a youth cult icon & Putzu was sufficiently aware to ensure he featured prominently. The poster has been cleaned, de-acidified & linen-backed.
