Directed by Robert Wise, screenplay by Ernest Lehman, Based on Somebody Up There Likes Me 1955 autobiography by Rocky Graziano with Rowland Barber, produced by Charles Schnee. Starring Paul Newman. Mentor Huebner uncredited production illustrator. Light creasing on corners and light wrinkling. Three inch and 1 inch tear on right edge. Paper approx. 17.5 x 24.5 in.
NOTE: The role of Rocky Graziano was originally to be played by James Dean, but he died before filming began, and Paul Newman was asked to take the part. Australian actor Rod Taylor was also considered for the part (the brownprint closely resembles Rod Taylor); although unsuccessful, his screen test impressed MGM enough for them to offer him a long term contract.
