From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Based on Frédéric Grendel's 1951 novel, about a bank robber who gets his brother to agree to help break him out of prison—on the condition that the brother be allowed to date the robber's girlfriend.

Shot on location in Sevilla, Spain, and in Tangier, Morocco.

14 x 11 inches. Very Good plus, lightly toned, with pinholes and wear at the corners.
