They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (Original photograph from the 1969 film)
- N.p.: N.p., 1969
N.p.: N.p., 1969. Vintage borderless photograph from the set of the 1969 film, an establishing shot of the dance marathon venue that serves as the setting for the story. Annotations in manuscript ink and a provenance label affixed to the verso.
Based on the 1935 debut novel by Horace McCoy. One of the darkest films of the 1960s, bringing to the screen McCoy's classic, grim depiction of the dance marathons of Depression-era 1930s. An uncompromising and daring work, in our opinion the best film of Sydney Pollack's career. Nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning one for Best Supporting Actor for Gig Young.
Set in Hollywood.
9.25 x 7.5 inches. Near Fine.
