Lady in the Lake
N.p. N.p., Circa 1946. Vintage reference photograph taken on the set of the 1946 film noir, showing actor and director Robert Montgomery with a camera crew, capturing a scene with actor Lloyd Nolan. Annotations in manuscript pencil on the verso.
An unusual and ambitious film noir, and Montgomery's final film for MGM. In a concept that originated with Montgomery, who directed, the entire film is shot from Phillip Marlowe's perspective, with the protagonist only ever visible in reflections and during a few scenes when he addresses the audience directly.
10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus.
