N.p.: N.p., 1971. Vintage reference photograph from the 1971 film, showing cinematographer Owen Roizman and a camera crew preparing to shoot a night scene on location. Printed snipe affixed to the verso.
William Friedkin made his name with this gritty adaptation of Robin Moore's nonfiction account of east coast drug trafficking. Perhaps the greatest of the many 1970s crime films that were shot on location in New York City, with glorious period detail in nearly every frame. The screenplay was written by author Ernest Tidyman, one year after the publication of his seminal Harlem-based crime novel "Shaft." Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor for Gene Hackman, along with three additional nominations.
10 x 8 inches, with wide margins. Very Good plus.
