CRANES ARE FLYING

3 Original 10 inch x 8 inch Stills for the 1957 Mikhail Kalatozov Russian Romantic Drama THE CRANES ARE FLYING (Letyat zhuravli), based on the the novel by Viktor Rozov and starring Tatyana Samoylova, Aleksey Batalov, Vasiliy Merkurev, Aleksandr Shvorin, Svetlana Kharitonova, Konstantin Kadochnikov, Valentin Zubkov, Antonina Bogdanova, Boris Kokovkin and Ekaterina Kupriyanova.

Veronica and Boris are blissfully in love, until the eruption of World War II tears them apart. Boris is sent to the front lines…and then communication stops. Meanwhile, Veronica tries to ward off spiritual numbness while Boris’s draft-dodging cousin makes increasingly forceful overtures. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, The Cranes Are Flying is a superbly crafted drama, bolstered by stunning cinematography and impassioned performances.

The stills are in very good condition.
