  • France: Arcadie Productions, 1975
By Sylvia Kristel (starring); Alain Robbe-Grillet (director, screenwriter); Jean-Louis Trintignant, Philippe Noiret, Anicee Alvina (starring)
France: Arcadie Productions, 1975. Collection of promotional ephemera from the 1975 French film, including a program, ten lobby cards, and two black-and-white reference photographs. Text in French.

One of ten films directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet, ostensibly about the target of a kidnapping plot hiding out at a high society brothel, but in reality an exercise in image making, fourth wall breaking, and the exploration of Robbe-Grillet's usual concerns of eroticism, voyeurism, and doppelgängers. One of his most commercially successful films, down mostly to the presence of "Emmanuelle" star Sylvia Kristel, far more prevalent in the marketing material than in the actual film.

Lobby cards (10): 11.5 x 9.25 inches. Very Good plus.

Photographs (2): 7 x 5 inches. Near Fine.

Program: 7.25 x 10.25 inches. 17 leaves. Near Fine in saddle-stapled wrappers.

All material housed together in an original glassine envelope as issued.
