Contact seller5-star sellerVintage reference photograph from the 1977 film, showing actress Marie-France Pisier. Included with the photograph is a three-page gathering of press information about the film. From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah. Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending An…dy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Based on the 1973 novel by Sidney Sheldon, about the mistress of a Greek tycoon who decides to track down an old American flame, whom she has not seen since before World War II. Although Sheldon's novel was hugely successful, the film adaptation would be fully overshadowed by "Star Wars," released at the same time. Shot on location in Los Angeles, in Paris, and in Luray, Virginia. 8 x 10 inches. About Fine.

Contact seller5-star sellerOriginal Pressbook for the 1936 film. Based on American minister Charles M. Sheldon's Christian novel, "In His Steps" (ultimately the films release title), the film presents a dramatic vision of a couple forced to elope and the struggles they endure while in hiding. This is an example of a very early pressbook, the publicity for…mat witnessing its heyday between 1940-1970, with the advent of film noir, exploitation films, and later, adult films. Early examples were simple black-and-white, or subdued colors (if any), and from the late 1950s on saw the color palette more fully utilized, expressing in greater array the adventure, horror, and science fiction film genres. 4 pages, folded, 12.75 X 1.5 inches. Black-and-white throughout. Very Good, with a horizontal fold at the middle, short closed tears at the edges, and brief insect damage at the top edge and lower corner.
