Vintage studio still photograph from the 1950 film, showing actors Barbara Stanwyck, Gilbert Roland, and Blanche Yurka. With a date stamp reading 12 AUG 25 50 on the bottom left corner of the verso, along with a Paramount blindstamp. Based on the 1948 novel by Niven Busch. A tense, vengeful Western which owes as much to archetypes of Greek tragedy and Shakespearean drama as it does to the conventions of the genre, following a rancher's strong-willed daughter who seeks revenge on her father for the wrongful hanging of her best friend. One of the few films in the noir canon that is also a Western. Set in New Mexico, shot on location in Arizona. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with a small closed tear to the top edge, repaired with white paper tape on the verso. Criterion Collection 435. Pitts 1478. Scorsese, A Personal Journey Through American Movies.

Vintage US one sheet poster for the 1975 film. Based on the 1974 novel by Patrick Mann, in turn based on a true story published in "Life" magazine. An inexperienced robber and his friend attempt to rob a bank, largely in order for the robber's girlfriend, a preoperative transgender woman, to afford gender confirmation surgery. Director Sidney Lumet's masterpiece, a snapshot of New York invoking queer politics, city politics, police politics, personal politics, and the mood of a city in the heat of the early 1970s-all without being overtly political.
