Italian Photobusta Set (13) (13.5" x 19.25")
Very Fine
Warner Bros., 1947

This is a beautiful and complete set of Italian photobustas for this masterful Bette David noir thriller. We've never seen this set offered before in the market, and it is assuredly rare in its complete form with envelope.

Several of the fotobustas have pinholes in the corners and a few others show very minor moisture rippling in them, but otherwise, this set is in wonderful condition.

This masterful film noir begins with a long tracking shot that would be masterfully used by director William Wyler. Bette Davis is the femme fatale who quips, "I still love the man I killed," and is then declared not guilty of the murder. Her attorney secretly purchased a letter that would have implicated Davis's character and buried it to get her acquitted by self-defense.

Estimate: $800 - 1,600
