Burbank, CA: Warner-Pathe, Circa 1969. Collection of three vintage black-and-white studio still photographs from the UK release of the 1969 film. Rubber-stamped on the versos, "Not for Sale / Warner-Pathe Copyright."

Based on Jean Giraudoux's 1945 French play, "La Folle de Chaillot." Countess Aurelia (Hepburn) is an idealistic, slightly mad woman with a heart of gold who decides to protest corrupt Parisian officials. A poignant and wacky portrayal of feminism against The Machine.

Set in Paris, shot on location throughout France.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus overall, withbrief creases, and a few tiny tears.
