400 BLOWS, THE [LES QUATRE CENTS COUPS] (1959) French photo

by Francois Truffaut

  • Used
Vintage original 9 x 11" (23 x 28 cm.) double weight photo, France. Jean-Pierre Leaud, dir: Francois Truffaut; Cocinor. There are some minor signs of handling, with a few small marginal pinholes and creases, there are stamps on verso of French photo agency, very good+.

The young Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Leaud) and his best friend Rene Bigey (Patrick Auffay) as they prepare to steal a movie photo of the voluptuous Gianna Maria Canale in the well-known classic Theodora, Slave Empress.

This is the earliest image that I can think of in movie history that involves the collecting (well, in this case, that starts with stealing) of movie posters and photos.
