Los Angeles: ABC Pictures, 1971. Vintage borderless double weight photograph of actress Susan George huddled in a coat on the set of the 1971 film. With a mimeo snipe on the verso.

Based on the 1969 novel "The Siege of Trencher's Farm" by Gordon Williams, an American man who returns to his wife's hometown in England, only to run afoul of the locals with increasingly violent consequences. Controversial in its depiction of physical and sexual violence, even within Peckinpah's often controversial filmography, it is also frequently considered one of his best. Nominated for an Academy Award.

Set and shot on location in Cornwall, England.
