AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
German Press Agency, Romy Schneider and Jean-Louis Trintignant in "Der Kampf auf der Insel", 1962.
Silver gelatin print on baryt, 16 x 21 cm, verso with archive and editorial notes.
Condition: age-appropriate condition, photo slightly warped and corners bumped.
About
Historical black-and-white press photography of Austrian-French actress Romy Schneider (1938–1982) together with Jean-Louis Trintignant (1930–2022) in a scene from Alain Cavalier’s French drama Le Combat dans l’île (The Fight on the Island, 1962).
The photograph shows the two leads in an atmospherically dense film scene and documents a significant phase in Romy Schneider's international career. After her great success as “Sissi,” Schneider increasingly established herself in French cinema and developed into one of the outstanding European actresses of her generation.
Particularly noteworthy is the fully preserved, typewritten press release from the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) on the reverse side. The contemporary press text describes Schneider's career after her Paris stage success and explains the film's plot. The photograph bears the original dpa image number A 9 F 62 – 18 – Sa and the copyright notice of Deutsche Presse-Agentur GmbH, Frankfurt am Main.
An appealing collectible of European film history and classic celebrity photography of the 1960s, showing Romy Schneider on her way to becoming an internationally celebrated character actress.
