Mrs. Peel and John Steed

N.p. N.p., Circa 1963, vintage reference photograph from the set of the 1963 film, with a blind stamp in the upper corner of each.
Based on the 1948 novella by Robin Maugham.
The first of Joseph Losey’s three legendary collaborations with screenwriter-playwright Harold Pinter, a dark, squeamish parable that tells a servant-becomes-master tale, but goes beyond what could have been a mediocre finish and journeys into the psyche and personal problems of the servant himself. Stunningly photographed by Douglas Slocombe. A classic of 1960s British cinema.
Set in and shot on location in London.
8 x 10.25 inches.
