Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1995. Two truly striking vintage reference photographs taken on the set of the 1995 film, each demonstrating the film's true aspect ratio. With manuscript pencil and ink annotations regarding layout and the printed label of the film's still photographer Phillip V. Caruso to the verso. Shown in the two photographs are Scorsese working with actors and crew on the expansive casino floor set. Also shown are Robert De Niro, Don Rickles, Billy Crystal, and others.

Based on screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi's 1995 nonfiction book "Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas." Martin Scorsese's fifteenth film, one of his finest, a fast-paced, bloody tale following a low-level mobster and gambling expert who climbs to power at the Mafia-run Tangiers Casino in the 1970s.

Set and shot on location in Las Vegas, with casino scenes shot at the Riviera.

10 x 8 inches. Fine.

Spicer US Neo-Noir.
