Bigger Than Life

Nicholas Ray (director)
Cyril Hume, Richard Maibaum (screenwriter)
James Mason, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau (starring)

London: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1956. Two vintage British front-of-house cards from the UK release of the 1956 US film.

Based on an article by Burton Roueche, about a schoolteacher who becomes dependent on a "miracle" drug with unexpected side effects to his sanity.

Credited as screenwriters were Cyril Hume and Richard Maibaum, however the shooting script was entirely reworked by director Nicholas Ray and actor/producer James Mason, who added the first 20 minutes of the film depicting Ed Avery's daily life before being hospitalized.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, several stills with scratches and a few closed tears.
