The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

N.p. The Landau Company, 1968. Vintage borderless photograph from the 1968 film, showing Alan Arkin, Sondra Locke, and an unidentified man at the film's premiere. Metropolitan Photo Service stamp on the verso.

One of the great film adaptations of any American novel, starring Locke in her screen debut, opposite Arkin. Although much of the political aspect of McCullers' novel was removed from the film, the themes present in the author's work are readily apparent: race, loneliness, impoverishment, and anger. Arkin and Locke were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress Oscars.

Shot on location in Selma, Alabama.

10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus.
