The Red Badge of Courage

N.p. N.p., Circa 1951. Vintage reference photograph from the 1951 film, showing director John Huston in costume for his cameo as a Union veteran. With manuscript ink and pencil annotations on the verso regarding layout, along with a collector label.

Based on the classic 1895 novel by Stephen Crane, which follows a Union soldier throughout the course of the Civil War. At the completion of shooting, Huston considered the film one of his best, but MGM cut over an hour from his film before releasing it to a poor reception.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, lightly creased and worn to the corners.
