A Married Woman [Une Femme mariée]

N.p. N.p., Circa 1964. Five vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1964 film, including one of director Jean-Luc Godard pushing longtime cinematographer Raoul Cotard, seated in a wheelchair, on the set. Layout annotations in ink and pencil on the versos, and one with a Télérama stamp.

Godard used a cameraman seated in a wheelchair instead of a camera dolly in several films, including "Breathless" (1959).

During a period of romantic tumult, a woman discovers she is pregnant, with two possible fathers. After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, the film was briefly banned in France for its scandalous depiction of infidelity, and was only passed by the censors after forcing Godard to make several small changes, including changing the film's title from "The Married Woman" to the slightly less inflammatory "A Married Woman."

Four photographs 7.25 x 9.5 inches, one photograph 5 x 7 inches. Very Good plus to Near Fine.

Masters of Cinema 80.
