DESCRIPTION:

Ellen Burstyn plays Edna McCauley, the wife of a man (Jeffrey DeMunn) who is killed in an auto crash. Edna herself survives, but not before enduring an \"out of body\" experience. Crippled in the accident, Edna heads to her hometown in Kansas to recuperate. There she discovers that she has the power to heal people, presumably a byproduct of her brief trip into the beyond. She accepts her gift, but resists the notion that she has been blessed with divine powers. On the other hand, her young lover (Sam Shepard) believes that she is the embodiment of Jesus Christ. It is his method of proving his hypothesis that brings the film to its startling conclusion. Both Ellen Burstyn and Eva Le Gallienne (as Burstyn\'s grandmother) were nominated for Academy Awards.

CONDITION:

These quality vintage and original release stills are in MINT condition (old yes, but FLAWLESS – uncirculated!). PERFECT TO BE AUTOGRAPHED OR SIGNED AT A PERSONAL APPEARANCE! I doubt there are better condition stills on this title anywhere! Finally, they are not digital or repros. (They came from the studio to the theater during the year of release and went into storage for many years!) They are worth $10 each but since I have recently acquired two huge collections from lifelong movie buffs who collected for decades… I need to offer these choice items for sale on a first come, first service basis to the highest buyer.

SHIPPING:

Domestic shipping would be FIRST CLASS and well packed in plastic, with several layers of cardboard support/protection and delivery tracking. International shipping depends on the location, and the package would weigh close to a pound with even more extra ridge packing.

BACKGROUND: “\'\'RESURRECTION\'\' is a movie about faith, and one that must be taken on faith. It\'s a little bit mad. But it has the courage of its conviction, and a beauty and persuasiveness that help keep the doubts at bay. You may not be far out of the theater before the film begins to seem silly. But the measure of its sincerity is the experience of watching it, which is a very uncomplicated one. Believe, the movie says, and for a while you really do. \'\'Resurrection,\'\' which opens today at the Gemini 2, has the simple, charmed manner of a fairy tale. Once upon a time, Lewis John Carlino\'s story goes, there was a woman named Edna (Ellen Burstyn) who was very much in love with her husband. Then she gave him a sports car for his birthday, and he died in an accident. Edna nearly died in the accident herself, and, in fact, she saw the visions reserved for those who pass into an afterlife. But Edna returned, and found herself partly paralyzed. She was despondent until, on a car trip with her father, she met a very strange man in the desert. The man had a two-headed snake, which was even stranger. Edna wasn\'t with this man very long, but something he did must have changed her. From this point on, she had the power to heal. The movie follows Edna as she cures patient after patient by the laying on of hands. She even cures her own paralysis. After a while, she becomes involved with a sullen, handsome, volatile young man who questions the source of her powers, challenging her to acknowledge a religious element, but Edna insists it\'s all just a matter of love. If this sounds naive, it is eventually rectified by the film\'s sweet, weepy coda, in which Edna is made to seem something of a magician after all. The director of \'\'Resurrection,\'\' Daniel Petrie, has in the past made bad movies of a certain dash, like \'\'Lifeguard\'\' and \'\'The Betsy.\'\' Mr. Carlino, the screenwriter, is also known for writing \'\'The Great Santini\'\' and \'\'The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea.\'\' Like everyone else responsible for \'\'Resurrection,\'\' they have outshone their past work to a remarkable degree; this is a movie that really seems to have brought out the best in everyone who worked on it. Chief among them is Miss Burstyn, who gives the kind of performance that makes all the odd events in the screenplay seem perfectly plausible, perfectly sane. Her presence is radiant, and so steadying it lets the movie exert a tremendous emotional pull. The whole cast of \'\'Resurrection\'\' is outstanding. The playwright Sam Shepard, who showed such promise as he made his acting debut in \'\'Days of Heaven,\'\' realizes that promise here. As Edna\'s hottempered lover, he brings a keen, nervous alertness to the role, and a presumptuousness that turns very appealing. Richard Farnsworth, as the old man Edna meets at the gas station, has only a few moments to make his mark upon the audience, and succeeds beautifully; in a very short time, he suggests all the magic his character is supposed to have. Also notable are Eva Le Gallienne and Lois Smith, playing high-spirited members of Edna\'s large family in the heartland, and Roberts Blossom as her terse, unyielding father. Mr. Blossom\'s character, like many in the movie, is obliged to undergo wrenching changes in order to keep the story moving, but he accomplishes this comfortably. \'\'Resurrection\'\' is a handsome movie (Paul Sylbert\'s production design is particularly memorable), with flat Southwestern and Middle Western scenery, and a lot of sky - not to mention the occasional cinematic trip to the Great Beyond. Mr. Petrie achieves a feeling of intimacy right in the middle of those wide open spaces, without losing a sense of their grandeur. That\'s a worthy accomplishment, too. \'\'Resurrection\'\' is rated PG (\'\'Parental Guidance Suggested\'\'). It contains a couple of bedroom scenes and occasional strong language. Question of Faith RESURRECTION, directed by Daniel Petrie; written by Lewis John Carlino; director of photography, Mario Tosi; film editor, Rita Roland; music by Maurice Jarre; produced by Renee Missel; released by Universal Pictures.
