Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1967. Collection of 20 vintage borderless studio still photographs from the 1967 film.

Based on the 1965 novel, a story of racial prejudice and land ownership in the deep south in 1946. Perhaps director Otto Preminger's worst well-cast flop of the latter part of his career, a legendary bomb which came under fire from almost every angle. Notably the film debut of actor Faye Dunaway, who was so dissatisfied with the experience that she later claimed Preminger didn't "know anything at all about the process of acting" and sued the director to break a five-film contract she had signed with him.

Set and shot on location in Georgia.

8 x 10 inches. Near Fine overall, one with several small splashes to the bottom half.

Olive Films 869.
