The Heartbreak Kid

N.p. N.p., Circa 1972. Three vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1972 film, candid images of actors Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd.

Loosely based on Theodore Dreiser's 1925 novel "An American Tragedy," and on Bruce Jay Friedman's 1966 short story "A Change of Plan." A self-absorbed sporting goods salesman tires of his new bride on their honeymoon in Miami Beach, instead deciding to throw himself at a perilously beautiful college student on vacation with her parents. Groundbreaking director Elaine May's second feature film, following "A New Leaf" in 1971, and a classic of twentieth century comedy.

Set in New York City and Florida, shot on location in Minneapolis and Miami.

7 x 9.5 inches. Near Fine.
