N.p.: J. Arthur Rank Organisation, 1952. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1952 film. Snipe affixed to the verso.
Based on Oscar Wilde's witty play of the same name, in which a Algernon discovers that his friend, Earnest, has created a fictional brother in order to intermittently leave his country home to visit the city. Algernon decides to assume the brother's identity and pay a little visit to his friend's estate. The film is a goofy and earnest rendition of Wilde's beloved play.
Shot on location in England.
8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus. Small stain to the recto and a manuscript graphite notation to the verso.
Criterion Collection 158.
