La Bohème

Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1926. Vintage reference photograph from the 1926 silent film, showing Lillian Gish and John Gilbert in a playful moment. Mimeo snipe on the verso.

Gish, then MGM's highest paid actress, had an unprecedented level of control over the production, and was allowed input into direction, story, casting, cinematography, and costume design.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good, moderately toned, with nicks to the margins, and creasing affecting the right portion of the photograph.
