About this Item

Set of 90 vintage snapshot-size keybook publicity photographs from the 1960 film, with punch holes at the left (or top) margin as called for. To our knowledge, snapshot-size reference photographs were utilized only by Twentieth Century-Fox, during a period roughly between 1940-1965, and are very scarce, particularly in the keybook format. A cinematic experiment tailor made for Welles, in which three actors portray two roles each, spinning two intertwined stories of romantic triangles gone wrong. This image from the first segment of the film, wherein Welles plays a loutish construction worker with an unhappy wife who takes up with a suitor, leading to unfortunate results. 4 x 5 inches. One photo with some loss at the right margin, all others Near Fine or better.
