QUEEN OF SPADES

Original Italian 13 inch x 19 inch Photobusta for the 1949 Thorold Dickinson Drama THE QUEEN OF SPADES, based on the short story by Alexander Pushkin and starring Anton Walbrook, Yvonne Mitchell, Ronald Howard, Edith Evans, Mary Jerrold, Anthony Dawson, Miles Malleson, Michael Medwin, Athene Seyler, Ivor Barnard, Valentine Dyall, Gibb McLaughlin, Drusilla Wills, Aubrey Mallalieu, George Woodbridge, Pauline Jameson and Hay Petrie.

An elderly countess strikes a bargain with the devil and exchanges her soul for the ability to always win at cards. An army officer, who is also a fanatic about cards, murders her for the secret, then finds himself haunted by the woman’s spirit.

The photobusta is in very good unfolded (rolled) condition with corner pinhole wear in the top corners.
