I Want To Live Robert Wise Signed Lobby Card
Perhaps the greatest film to show the effects of the Death Penalty, "I Want To Live" (1958) was based on the true story of the trial and execution of Barbara Graham. Director Robert Wise wanted to show what the gas chamber was really like, so he went to San Quentin Prison and witnessed an actual execution by gas, which is why the gas chamber execution scenes are still considered the most detailed and grisly ever filmed. It is also considered to be Susan Hayward's greatest performance. This is an original lobby card from this classic film (which Robert Altman did a brilliant parody of in "The Players"), signed by the legendary director himself: Robert Wise. Comes with a copy of a letter for Mr. Wise. Lobby card is 14"x11".
