Description:
Vintage reference photograph of director Julien Duvivier and cinematographer Henri Alekan in conversation with Orson Welles on the set of the 1948 film, at London Film Studios in Shepperton. With holograph ink annotations on the verso regarding layout and identifying the figures in the photograph.
Based on the 1877 novel, wherein a young woman's loveless marriage leads her to begin an affair with a dashing Czarist officer.
Welles visited England in 1948 to discuss his 1949 film "The Third Man" with producer Alexander Korda, who also served as the producer for Duvivier's "Anna Karenina." Although Duvivier arguably achieved a lesser degree of lasting fame than many of his contemporaries, the director was held in high esteem by Welles and fellow Hollywood greats Ingmar Bergman, Michael Powell, and John Ford.
Set in Russia.
