Fotografia
Vintage reference photograph from the 1968 film, showing actors Frank Sinatra and Lee Remick. With a mimeo snipe on the verso. Based on the 1966 novel. A brooding New York detective investigates the murder of a gay man-a crime that none of his fellow officers will take seriously due to the victim's sexuality. Sinatra's fourth collaboration with director Gordon Douglas, a box office success and one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to explicitly depict and discuss the lives of gay men. Set and shot on location in New York City. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light creases to the edges and a light splash to the right edge. Grant US. Twilight Time.
