About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1948. Two vintage borderless oversize reference photographs from the 1948 film, both showing director and actor Orson Welles. One with the stamp of photographer Allan Grant on the verso, along with a number stamp and annotations in manuscript ink.
Shot on a modest budget, with a very tight production schedule, Welles' "Macbeth" was largely overshadowed by Laurence Olivier's much lauded "Hamlet," released the same year. After the film tested unfavorably in a few cities, Republic Pictures had Welles remove two reels and re-record the film, replacing the cast's Scottish burrs with the actors' natural voices. The original uncut version was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and the Folger Shakespeare Library in 1980, and has since been reconsidered as one of Welles' most significant films.
Set in 11th century Scotland.
One 14 x 11 inches, the other 13.25 x 10.25 inches. Near Fine, lightly worn at the corners.
