MOULIN ROUGE
£160.00
Original 10 inch x 8 inch Black and White Publicity Still of JOHN HUSTON and visitors, Danish film star OLGA NILSSON and Czech film director JOHN L. BROM for the 1952 John Huston Drama MOULIN ROUGE.
”Between 1949 and 1962, John Brom traveled to Africa many times, often alone with his camera, and developed a deep respect for the people and continent. He recognized the tension between the demands of Western European modernization at the close of the colonial era and the African struggle to retain traditional ways and values. His camera recorded people and traditions since transformed by war, genocide and the lure of urban life. This footage became the basis for several full-length documentary films shown mainly in Germany, France and Canada. Brom also wrote seven books about his travels in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. In 1963, Brom emigrated to the United States. Six years later, in January 1969, Brom died suddenly while working on “The Changing Face of Africa”; the television series was never completed.”
Text on reverse: OLGA NILSSON, Danish film star and niece of Asther Nilsson, and Czech film director JOHN BROM visit director JOHN HUSTON while on location in Paris for “MOULIN ROUGE”. The two directors exchanged notes on Africa where Huston made “The African Queen” and Brom recently filmed an unknown tribe of Africans.
The Still, by Eric Gray, is in very good condition with minor surface marks.
