Description

Three oversized original vintage semi-glossy silver gelatin photos associated with the 1955 film noir The Desperate Hours, taken by Elliott Erwitt. Includes: a 9 x 13.5 photo of lighting director Vic Jones taking a reading on the set of The Desperate Hours; a 13.25 x 9 photo of the lighting setup on the set; and a 10.25 x 13.5 close-up photo of director William Wyler in action. All bear Elliott Erwitt/Magnum Photos credit stamps on the reverse, and two have affixed captions. In overall very good to fine condition, with some creasing to edges and corners. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Fredric March, The Desperate Hours was the first black-and-white film in VistaVision, Paramount's wide-screen process.
