Where's the pre pro?

Since I am probably never going to take great photos of my watches, I must resort to gimmicks. This is a challenge: Identify the item in the background of the photo. You must be very specific. The most specific and correct answer wins.

Elvis!

It's an ad, maybe a poster, for a movie I think.

speedycosmograph · Jul 30, 2012

Good lord. I may be giving you guys too much credit. It is not Elvis...although I'm sure to Aussies we yanks probably all look like the king. Dennis, you have taken the first baby step toward being correct. It is not an ad...well...not like in a magazine.

Do I have to give hints? It's a poster from the 50s.

James Dean - East of Eden

speedycosmograph · Jul 30, 2012

You are def. on the right track...but not totally correct.

You can't get to MN from AU unless you go through NJ. 😗

Wait a second...you got a watch for 500 posts? I'm canceling all of my important appointments for today. YIPPEE! Slumber party!

And it's not fair to just guess all of his movies. I need an exact answer...movie, actor, and TYPE of poster.

John Cusack?

John Cusack?

That was a great movie. "Mmm. Good for you. It's a growth industry." 😜

That is NOT John Cusack. And it's not Paul Hogan, either...so don't try that.

It's James Dean in a movie poster from the movie 'Rebel Without a Cause'. I think that poster also has a picture of the beautiful Natalie Wood, if my memory serves me correctly! 👍

cicindela · Jul 31, 2012

Pretty similar , but not the identical.

speedycosmograph · Jul 31, 2012

You have the actor and the film...notice the toy monkey in that German poster from Rebel. It's probably not reasonable to ask for more specifics on the poster. I will declare rgdejong the winner, but I was also looking for the exact poster. I have a thing for movie posters, too...especially what are generally called 3 sheets. They are the equivalent of 3 regular movie posters stacked horizontally. And there is a nice shot of young Natalie Wood in the poster. I just got a great 3 sheet of Dr. Strangelove linen backed. I'm sure some of you know that film. "Gentlemen, you can't fight here....this is the war room."
