New York: Pictorial Parade, Circa 1958. Vintage oversize satin finish photograph from the set of the 1959 film, showing actor Sal Mineo in costume as Gene Krupa. Stamps of photographer Jack Albin and "Pictorial Parade" on the verso.

A dramatization of the life of legendary jazz drummer and bandleader Gene Krupa, whose ostentatious lifestyle and drug and alcohol addictions nearly wrecked his career.

From the archive of the PIX Agency, an American photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969.

10.25 x 13.5 inches, archivally matted in a 20 x 16 inch 8-ply white mat. Very Good plus.
