Universal City: Universal Pictures, Circa 1964. Vintage reference photograph from the 1964 film, showing actor Sean Connery talking with director Alfred Hitchcock between takes during filming on location in San Francisco, with the Bay Bridge in the background. Printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso.

Based on Winston Graham's 1961 novel, which follows a wealthy businessman's unwanted, often cruel attempts to help a troubled young woman come to terms with her past. The production faced several setbacks in its development, most relating to Hitchcock's insistence on including a rape scene present in the novel, and the subsequent troubles in casting the lead role, given the emotional complexity demanded for the character.

Set and shot on location in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland.

10 x 8 inches. Faint discoloration on the top edge of the verso, else about Near Fine.
