Rome: Fotografica Pierluigi, Circa 1967. Two vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1968 film, both showing director Roger Vadim with cast and crew members on the set. Fotografica Pierluigi stamps on the versos, along with layout annotations in manuscript ink and pencil.

Based on the adult comic book by Jean-Claude Forest, published in the French magazine "V" in 1962 and 1964. Likely the campiest space-opera sex comedy in film history. Though not popular upon its release, it was re-released to greater acclaim in 1977, and has since influenced countless fashion designers, films, and musicians, including Duran Duran, whose name is a play on that of the main villain.

Set in outer space and shot in Rome.

7 x 9.5 inches. Very Good plus.
