Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], Circa 1955. Vintage narrow margin reference photograph of cast and crew fixated on Dolores Gray's performance on the set of the 1955 film. Cropping annotations in manuscript pencil and mimeo snipe printed on verso.

Three former army friends meet for a reunion in New York after ten years apart, and find that they have little left in common. An uncommonly cynical, even unhappy musical with notably unusual dance routines—factors which granted it critical acclaim upon release, but confused audiences of the 1950s.

Nominated for two Academy Awards including Best Screenplay.

Set in New York.

8.25 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with light creasing and two pinholes in top left margin.
