Fotografia
Collection of 6 vintage black-and-white still photographs from the 1961 Italian film. Marcello Mastroianni is a bored man, bored with life and his wife. He falls in love with a younger woman, and since divorce is illegal in Italy unless there is just cause (like catching your spouse committing adultery), he decides to find his wife another lover. That way he wont need to kill her. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with light creases and toning overall. Several pinholes to a few; one with a small chip and corresponding closed tears.
