Rome: Titanus, 1963. Three vintage borderless photographs from the 1963 film. With manuscript annotations on the verso.
Visconti's classic, spacious homage to the quiet death of the Sicilian aristocracy of the mid-nineteenth century, one of the great films of the Italian cinema. Perhaps the apex of Ms. Cardinale's career, and one of a handful of examples of Burt Lancaster's willingness to take on literate, complex roles. Nominated for an Academy Award.
Shot on location in Rome, Lazio, and Sicily, Italy.
4.5 x 3.5 inches. Near Fine.
BFI 1087. Criterion Collection 235. Ebert II. Godard, Histoires de cinema. Rosenbaum 1000. Schrader 22. (Inventory #: 144726)
