Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1955. Vintage studio still photograph of Lillian Gish and Charles Laughton on the set of the 1955 film. Annotations in holograph pencil, "Library Dell Publishing," "Life Story 1953," and four overlapping "Everett Collection" stamps, all on verso.

Based on the 1953 novel by David Grubb.

Charles Laughton's only directorial credit, with tremendous performances throughout, led by a never-better Robert Mitchum and a resurgent Lillian Gish. Reviled upon its release, but today considered one of the classic noir films of the 1950s.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus with light edgewear and faint creasing to margins, bruise to lower right border just touching image.

Description:
Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1955. Vintage candid photograph of Robert Mitchum, sharing a moment with his wife Dorothy while on the set of the 1955 film. Dressed in costume as Harry Powell, the image of a smiling, relaxed Mitchum is incongruous with the severe, terrifying nature of the character he played, one of the most iconic villains in all film history. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus. Shallow vertical slice to the right side of the image.
