by (HEMINGWAY, ERNEST)GARY COOPER & INGRID BERGMAN
Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1942. A terrific collection of four stills (8” x 10”) from the acclaimed film For Whom the Bell Tolls, adapted from Ernest Hemingway’s classic novel set in the 1930s during Spain’s civil war, directed by Sam Wood, starring Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Akim Tamiroff, Katina Paxinou, and Arturo De Cordova. All in fine condition. The photographs show: Cooper and Bergman sharing a flirtatious moment and a cup of coffee, a particularly lovely shot of Miss Bergman in an intimate moment with Mr. Cooper reclining together on the grass, a shot of Bergman and Cooper with a look of contention passing between them while Akim Tamiroff gestures near-by with a crust of bread, and the last of Bergman and Cooper sharing a passionate kiss as Cooper is about to leave on his mission to blow up an all-important bridge. A fine set of photographs highlighting the generous gifts of talent and charisma of these two great actors. The film won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Katina Paxinou), and was nominated for Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Gary Cooper), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Ingrid Bergman), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Akim Tamiroff), Best Art Direction - Interior Decoration, Color, Best Cinematography, Color, Best Film Editing, and Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture.
