Photograph
Three vintage studio still photographs from the 1968 film. One photograph with a provenance stamp on the verso on a label obscuring an older provenance stamp. Loosely based on the 1924 short story "The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell, wherein wealthy beatnik Virginia offers a former wrestler (played by boxer Jake LaMotta), a washed up actor, and a drug dealer $100,000 if they can survive being hunted down in the streets of Manhattan. Shot on location in New York City. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus.
