Vintage glossy 8 x 10.25 MGM publicity photo of Ava Gardner for the 1951 film Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, signed nicely in blue fountain pen. In fine condition, with a small crease touching her left eye. In the United States, MGM delayed its release until Gardner's star-making performance in Show Boat (1951) could be seen. The tactic worked, and this film solidified her status as a rapidly rising star.
