N.p. N.p., Circa 1935. Three original photographs of Frank Capra and Gary Cooper on the set of the 1936 film. Mimeo snipe adhered to the verso of one photograph, referring to the film by its working title "Opera Hat," along with the stamp of photographer A.L. Schafer, and one photograph with a date stamp reading April 20, 1936 on the verso.

The first photo shows Capra with the film script in hand, standing next to a wall calendar that prominently reads "Friday December 13th," the day the film was announced. The second is a candid shot of Capra and Gary Cooper, and the third is a candid photo of Capra standing in the balcony of one of the film's sets.

A small town man discovers he is the sole beneficiary of his estranged and incredibly wealthy uncle's estate, and must move to New York to claim his inheritance, becoming a moving target for a number of scammers in the process. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Director.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus with light creasing.
