MADELEINE

Original 9 1/2 inch x 7 1/4 inch Black and White Portrait of ANN TODD & IVAN DESNY in the 1950 David Lean Crime Drama MADELEINE.

David Lean’s much maligned adaptation of a true-life 19th-century murder case, with Ann Todd as a woman accused of poisoning her lover, is a slippery melodrama whose upper-class trappings mask a subversive rape-revenge core.

The portrait is in very good condition with a credit list tacked to the reverse.
