Comment by Eric Keith Longo on October 15, 2022 at 12:59am: And the original London production playbill (VERY thin due to the war). One print run no date changes. Directed by husband Laurence Olivier.

Comment by Eric Keith Longo on September 1, 2023 at 4:37pm: Some new original stills and a candid too. In the first still, Leigh is being prepped for the opening scene as the screencap shows. The second is of Elia Kazan directing on set. Last is a late 1940's candid snapshot.
