Death of a Salesman 1951 Frederic March Signed as Willy SP by Lippmann, McCarthy SP, Key Book Onset Candid, Lee Cobb NBC Still & an Arthur Miller Candid

Hi All,

Some of my Death of a Salesman collection. The Fredric March SP is signed in character and is an in-between-scenes candid. Mildred Dunnock, who originated the role of Linda Loman in 1949 on Broadway opposite Gene Lockhart. is also shown. The next is Kevin McCarthy (Biff), a signed original still of the big scene. Then a production onset still by Lippmann with a complete listing of everyone in the photo and their job on the back. Next is an NBC 8/26/66 still with color blurb, and then a color candid by Peter Warrack from 1975. In the 1966 version. Bernard was played by a young Gene Wilder.

Eating that fried chicken in the court room was awesome and believable.

Which version? I actually don't remember that. The only chicken eating scene that sticks in my head is from Rhinoceros!

You don't remember Frederic March eating chicken in the courtroom from Inherit The Wind?

No, it's been a while. I remember Scott overeating in his hotel, but not that. It is always worth another watch!

Who can forget Frederic March in "The Best Years of Our Lives" or "Seven Days in May"?

Absolutely, Garrett. As the President in "Seven Days In May." Lancaster and Douglas were powerful, as was the entire cast (Balsam, O'Brien, etc).

Talk about a stellar cast! One of the finest movies about America's political instability in the early Sixties, long with "Fail Safe."

I read the Lancaster's character was modeled on General Edwin Walker who JFK fired for his radical rightwing politics and being critical of JFK's stance on Russia

Fail Safe with another great cast including Henry Fonda, Larry Hagman, Ed Binns, Dom Deluise, etc.

I watch it whenever TCM airs it.

Hey Jimmy!

I certainly remember your name! :-)

Thank you. It is one of my all time favorites as well. I have about 20 more stills, many Lippmann stamped - drop me a line if interested.

It's really good to be back here!
