Rome: Titanus, 1963. Vintage oversize borderless double weight photograph of Luchino Visconti, Burt Lancaster, and Serge Regiani on the set of the 1963 film, by photographer G. B. Poletto. Cropping annotations in manuscript pencil, annotations in manuscript ink and marker, two "Settimo Giorno" stamps, and photographer "G. B. Poletto" stamp, all on verso.

Based on the 1958 novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.

Visconti's classic, spacious homage to the quiet death of the Sicilian aristocracy of the mid-nineteenth century, one of the great films of Italian cinema. Perhaps the apex of Ms. Cardinale's career, and one of a handful of examples of Burt Lancaster's willingness to take on literate, complex roles.

Nominated for an Academy Award. Winner of the Palme d'Or.

Shot on location in Rome, Lazio, and Sicily, Italy.

9.5 x 11.75 inches. Very Good plus with some creasing and tiny bruise on right side.

BFI 1087. Criterion Collection 235. Ebert II. Godard, Histoire(s) de cinema. Rosenbaum 1000. Schrader 22.
