Publication:
N.p. N.p., Circa 1939
Description:
Vintage matte-finish borderless reference photograph from the 1939 film, an aerial shot showing hundreds of cast members (and quite a few horses) in costume as medieval French citizens. With holograph ink and pencil annotations on the verso regarding layout, along with a provenance stamp.
Based on Victor Hugo's 1831 novel. In 15th century Paris, a young gypsy is wrongly accused of murder by the evil Chief Justice, and must be saved from the gallows by Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral. One of the most expensive productions ever made by RKO, with massive sets of medieval Paris and Notre Dame lending to the high costs.
Set in Paris, and shot on location at the RKO Encino Ranch and the University of Southern California.
10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light wear to the corners.
