A PISTOL SHOT

4 Original Italian 10 3/8 inch x 8 inch Stills of ASSIA NORIS, FOSCO GIACHETTI & ANTONIO CENTA in the 1942 Renato Castellani Italian Drama A PISTOL SHOT (UN COLPO DI PISTOLA), based on a short story by Alexander Pushkin.

A rather freewheeling and inventive adaptation of Pushkin’s very short (16 pages) tale. Astonishingly rich and luxuriant for a film made during the Second World War, with an impressive reconstruction of Russia and Ukraine during the 1830s.

The stills are in very good condition with embossed logos upper right.
