'Shooting breakdown' production document for James Dean's 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause

Desirable 'shooting breakdown' document from the production of the classic 1955 teen drama Rebel Without a Cause, 51 pages, 8.5 x 11, March 9, 1955, directed by Nicholas Ray and starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo. The first page provides an index to the movie's scenes, and each page offers a description of the scene as well as a comprehensive listing of actors, wardrobe, effects, stage construction, props, and other requirements for the filming of each scene. Among the "essential props" listed throughout the document are "cars to park," "cars to drive," "cigarettes," "matches," "hot rods," and "motorcycles," "Plato's gun," "switch knife"—all crucial elements to the iconic film. The working document features a few pencil annotations inside, and is in very good to fine condition, with the first page detached, and tape-stained repaired tears to the first three pages.
