Used to promote the 1955 film "East of Eden", this photograph of James Dean sharing a passionate kiss with co-star Julie Harris has gone down in history as one of Dean's most famous and provocative. Many have used the profile of Dean to photo-shop other peoples faces (including Marlon Brando) onto the image. The offered specimen is beautiful, crystal clear off the original negative and age appropriate to the theatrical release. Aside from some light creasing on the left side and a touch of discoloration at the top from age, it is a beautiful piece of photography with deep artistic tones.
