Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1960. Vintage oversize borderless black-and-white double weight press photograph from the set of the 1960 film. Shot by Jean Schmidt for the French magazine Cinema, with stamps for both parties on the verso.

A cinematic experiment tailor made for Welles, in which three actors portray two roles each, spinning two intertwined stories of romantic triangles gone wrong. This image from the first segment of the film, wherein Welles plays a loutish construction worker with an unhappy wife who takes up with a suitor, leading to unfortunate results.

8.5 x 12 inches. Fine.
