Purple Noon

France / Italy: Robert and Raymond Hakim, 1960. Five vintage still black-and-white photographs from the 1960 film, all produced for the US/UK release by Times Film.

One of greatest of the French noirs, in which René Clément wisely opted for the use of color over the general French practice of black-and-white. Also, easily one of the finest adaptations of Patricia Highsmith's work, told in a very visual style with a dearth of dialogue.

All photos are 8 x 10 inches, and all Near Fine to Fine.
