N.p. N.p., Circa 1971. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1971 film, here under the alternate release title "The Young Divorcess." Provenance stamp on the verso.

Loosely based on the 1897 Oscar Wilde poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol."

Featuring early performances by George Takei and eventual director of "Fright Night" Tom Holland. In a 2006 interview with Howard Stern, Takei revealed that the sex scenes were shot with body doubles and added only after the film was unable to secure distribution. Takei added that he was "impressed" with the body double used for his character.

Three recently divorced twenty somethings abandon their suffocating lives and shack up as free-sprited, free-love hippies. Today a cult favorite.

Shot on location in San Diego and Piru, California.

8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
