Vintage reference photograph from the 1967 film, showing actor Lee Marvin in a crowd. Annotations in manuscript ink on the verso. Based on the 1963 novel "The Hunter" by Donald E. Westlake. An unapologetic, nihilistic work, one of the gems of early neo-noir and a foundational late 1960s crime film, setting the stage for the New Hollywood era. Viewers and critics have often questioned whether or not the film is really a dream that its protagonist has after he is shot in the very beginning. Director John Boorman claims to not have an opinion on the matter, and has said that the film is about the lead character's dehumanizing experiences during World War II. 10 x 8 inches. Faint wear to the finish on the left edge, else about Near Fine. National Film Registry. Grant US. Rosenbaum 1000. Scorsese, A Personal Journey Through American Movies. Silver and Ward Neo-Noir US.
