Influential director of such classic films as Rebel Without a Cause, Johnny Guitar, and King of Kings. His distinctive style was one of the prime motivating factors in the development of the “auteur” theory of filmmaking. Scarce and highly desirable vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo, an original publicity still from Ray’s Rebel without a Cause, signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen, “To George Edward Sholly with kindest regards, Nicholas Ray, July 8, 1961, Rome, Italy.” Ray’s autograph material, particularly vintage items related to his most famous film, is of notable scarcity. In fine condition, with a few light bends, scattered surface marks, scratch and a few tiny abrasions near top edge, and last name slightly lighter due to uneven ink flow. R&R COA.
