N.p. Darryl F. Zanuck Productions, 1961. Collection of 28 vintage studio still photographs from the 1961 film. Based on William Faulkner's novels, "Sanctuary" and "Requiem for a Nun."

A harsh film with frank dialogue and thematic content throughout regarding rape, female sensuality, and sexual brutality. The final version of the film suffered from censorship, as well as an attempt to make something "literary" and "respectable" from a novel where disrespect and ill repute were at the center of a grim story.

8 x 10 inches. Near Fine to Fine condition.
