Contact seller5-star sellerVintage black-and-white reference photograph from the US release of the 1966 film noir. An underrated, key film for director Penn, something of an intellectual thriller, made between two better known films, "Mickey One" (1965) and "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967). Also, very much an acting tour de force, with early performances by Robe…rt Duvall, Jane Fonda, and Robert Redford, and an exceptional turn by Brando as a town sheriff facing painful choices. The film itself was the subject of am acrimonious struggle for creative control between the director and studio, coincidentally making the production mirror the themes of upheaval of the social order and the fight for freedom within the film story. A story set in Texas, shot partially on location there. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. Spicer US.

Contact seller5-star sellerVintage borderless photograph of James Taylor and director Monte Hellman on the set of the 1971 film. Mimeo snipe on verso. After cutting his teeth under the tutelage of guerilla filmmaker Roger Corman, Monte Hellman made two landmark (and still rarely screened) existential Westerns with Jack Nicholson as producer and star. But…it was with "Two-Lane Blacktop," the first screenplay by noted novelist Rudolph Wurlitzer, that maverick director Monte Hellman helmed his first masterpiece and a cornerstone of the New Hollywood movement. Shot on location in Arizona, Tennessee, Oklahoma, California, Arkansas, and New Mexico. 7.5 x 9.5 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry. Rosenbaum 1000. Criterion Collection 414. Eureka MOC 26.
