SHADOWS

Original 10 inch x 8 inch Still of ANTHONY RAY, LELIA GOLDONI & HUGH HURD in the 1958 John Cassavetes Drama SHADOWS.

John Cassavetes’s directorial debut revolves around a romance in New York City between Lelia (Lelia Goldoni), a light- skinned black woman, and Tony (Anthony Ray), a white man. The relationship is put in jeopardy when Tony meets Lelia’s darker-skinned jazz singer brother, Hugh (Hugh Hurd), and discovers that her racial heritage is not what he thought it was. Shot on location in Manhattan with a mostly nonprofessional cast and crew, Shadows is a penetrating work that is widely considered the forerunner of the American independent film movement.

The still is in very good condition with a synopsis tacked to the reverse.
