Look Back in Anger

Tony Richardson (director)
John Osborne (play)
Nigel Kneale (screenwriter)
Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Mary Ure (starring)

N.p. Orion, 1959. Collection of six vintage reference photographs from the 1959 film. Mimeo snipes affixed to the versos of each still. Based on John Osborne's 1956 play of the same name.

A superb set of uncommon images. Ripe with both class and sexual tension, Tony Richardson's 1959 film portrays a marriage on the brink of collapse in claustrophobic quarters. In the vein of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," class resentment simmers beneath the surface of a relationship between a man and a woman.

Shot on location in England.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus overall. Occasional dampstaining to the margins and versos. Ink notation to the verso of one image.
