I picked this up to compliment the SP as this shows him weak and he appears so strong in the signed photograph. Newman looks about as good as ever and his eyes show blue. It is a color Lobby Still by probably Reynold Brown, who did the poster art for this and an incredible array of films, from huge hits like this down the The Incredible Shrinking Man (huge with me). This is a key scene down the basement - surrounded with the "junk"  Big Mamma bought in Europe, and holding his fathers hat, Big Daddy is gripped by the pain Old Doc Bough has left the morphine for, and Brick supports him. The arguing is over.

Now that I think about it The Incredible Shrinking Man culminates in the basement too...
