Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1960. Collection of eight vintage studio still photographs from the 1960 film. Five with printed mimeo snipes on the verso.

Loosely based on John O'Hara's 1935 novel. A promiscuous New York model falls in love with a married man following an illicit one-night stand. The most successful MGM release of 1960, well-received by most audiences, save actress Elizabeth Taylor herself, who called the film "Butterball Four" in private. Nevertheless, the film was nominated for two Academy Awards, winning Taylor her first Oscar for Best Actress.

Set and shot on location in New York.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
