The Servant

Joseph Losey (director)
Robin Maugham (novel)
Harold Pinter (screenwriter)
Dick Bogarde, Sarah Miles, Wendy Craig, James Fox (starring)

N.p. Estree Distributors, 1963. Vintage borderless photograph of Sarah Miles and Joseph Losey on the set of the 1963 film. Crop annotations in manuscript marker on recto, crop annotations in manuscript pencil and "Theo Cowan LTD" and "Paris-Presse" stamps and 1 1/4" mimeo snipe on the verso.

The first of Joseph Losey's three legendary collaborations with screenwriter-playwright Harold Pinter, a dark, squeamish parable that tells a servant-becomes-master tale, but goes beyond what could have been a mediocre finish and journeys into the psyche and personal problems of the servant himself. Stunningly photographed by Douglas Slocombe. A classic of 1960s British cinema.

Set in and shot on location in London.

7.5 x 9.75 inches. Very Good plus, some faint creasing.
