Universal City, CA: Universal Pictures, 1963. Original pressbook for the 1964 film.

Based on a novel by Doris Hume Kilburn. Karen Williams (Jones) is an art historian's assistant, abroad in Italy. There she meets Count Paolo (Brazzi), who immediately attempts to seduce her. Interrupting their courting is a mysterious girl named Cora (Moll), apparently related to the Count, maybe his daughter, maybe his wife.

12 x 18 inches, saddle-stapled, 12 pages, black-and-white throughout. Very Good plus, with a horizontal fold at the middle, and light foxing.
