About this Item

Three vintage borderless reference photographs from the set of the 1969 film. Provenance stamps of film scholar and author J. P. Berthome on versos of all three, and one with a National Film Archive stamp on the verso.

A young, discontented man in a dead-end relationship learns his draft notice has arrived and he is due to report for Army duty the following week. While out trying to raise money to keep his car from being repossessed, he sees, and becomes obsessed with, the beautiful Lola, an older French model who works in a "model shop" posing for photographers. Set and shot on location in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, California. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. Twilight Time 327.
