Buckinghamshire: London Film, Circa 1948. Two vintage reference photographs of director Carol Reed on the set of the 1948 British film, one showing Reed with a camera crew on location, and the other showing Reed between takes with actors Ralph Richardson and Bobby Henrey. Both photographs with printed mimeo snipes affixed the versos, one with the stamp of photographer Leslie Baker on the verso, and one with a studio stamp incorrectly crediting Anthony Asquith's 1948 film "The Winslow Boy."

Based on Graham Greene's 1936 short story "The Basement Room," about a diplomat's son who comes to suspect that his family's beloved butler has committed a murder.

Shot on location in London.

One photograph 9.75 x 8 inches, one photograph 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
