Adaptation de Geneviève de Kermabon d'après le film de Ton Browning, Pour faire du trapèze volant, il faut être costaud et léger: il faut aimer prendre des risques et gouter… l'inattendu: curieusement, il faut aussi avoir les pieds sur terre. Geneviève de Kermabon est une trapéziste qui écrit et qui fait de la mise en scène. Son travail sur Freaks est le reflet de toutes les valeurs qu'elle à goûtées en l'air et possède une humanité qu'on rencontre trop rarement sur le sol.

Contact seller5-star sellerDouble-weight publicity photograph from the 1931 film, showing actress Jean Harlow. Originally shot circa 1930 by Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones, and later struck from the negative circa 1980s by author and Hollywood historian David Chierchetti. With original borders from the negative still present, a trademark of Chierc…hetti's somewhat "punk" style of photo development. Ray Jones was born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s. "Blonde Bombsell" Jean Harlow was one of the defining actresses of pre-Code American cinema and a leading sex symbol of the early 1930s. Harlow was only in the film industry for nine years before her untimely death of kidney failure in 1937 at the age of 26, while filming the romantic comedy "Saratoga" with Clark Gable. Her best remembered films include "Hell's Angels" (1930), "Red-Headed Woman" (1932), "Dinner at Eight" (1933), "Reckless" (1935), and "Suzy" (1936). 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.

One of Browning and Chaney's best joint efforts, a tragically grim film depicting a lurid Africa. Set in Zanzibar. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, slightly wavy, with light toning.
