Roman Polanski, Peter Sellers (subjects)
Roland Schoor (photographer)

N.p. N.p., Circa 1969. Vintage borderless candid photograph of director Roman Polanski and actor Peter Sellers in a car, en route to a party for Peter Lawford in London, circa 1969. With a printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso. From the archive of the PIX Agency, a photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969.

Polanski and Sellers were friends and occasional collaborators, with Sellers appearing in the 1970 film "A Day at the Beach," written and intended to be directed by Polanski before the 1969 murder of his wife Sharon Tate by members of the Charles Manson cult compelled him to abandon the project.

9.5 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light edgewear and creasing.
