N.p. N.p., Circa 1965. Vintage borderless reference photograph from the set of the 1965 film, showing actresses Lucy Bartlett and Charlotte Rampling in between takes, wearing matching wetsuits.

Based on Ann Jellicoe's 1962 play. An awkward young man seeks out the help of his slick, womanizing flatmate in learning how to seduce women, but trouble arises when they both set their marks on the same girl. Although nominally a comedy, a film that bears far more similarity to a kitchen sink drama, due largely to its polarizing final act. Winner of the Palme d'Or.

Set and shot on location in London.

9.5 x 7 inches. Near Fine.
