Richard Burton (1925-1984) as Alec Leamas in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold 1965 original still by Bob Penn (slightly trimmed) with a C. 1966 dedication, inscription and signature in what appears black fountain pen. Slight age-related tone/light marks to the gelatin silver print. I have seen a good bit of Burton from the '50's & '70's, but much less from the whirlwind 60's. This right after Iguana and right before Woolf. Will post a better scan soon. I hope you like it. It is a superb film.
Pardon the crooked scan.
Great movie. Superb signed photo!
Thanks Joe! I am very happy with this one :) I started the audiobook on YT - excellent. Compared with the other film we were talking about, this performance is very restrained and nuanced. I know Burton hated his pock marked skin and that it would show - that may explain the placement here.
Superb Good contrast/placement too.
Real nice example congrats!!

John Agar original 1956 The Mole People still signed in ball point c. 1970 or so. Paper from this film is terribly hard - I spent more for my first original (unsigned) Mole People still than I did for this piece. I hope you like it. Yes, Agar is common, but not on this still. I loved this film since I was about 8. "...The Golden Rod of Ishtar..."
Hi again,
I recall when I was looking for an original '56 Mole People still I contacted Jerry Ohlinger (JOMMS) and he had a single still which I bought. Only one I had seen up till now. He had told me Nestor Paiva's (Etienne LaFarge in the film ( "...we must have come down at least 200 feet!...") daughter had contacted him earlier looking for anything of her father. This paper is very tough. Like Invasion of the Body Snatchers only worse. Jerry also supplied my 1949 Sunset Blvd. still which is amazing (I'll be posting it and the new dated 1949 inscribed "Sunset Boulevard" signed 8x10 shortly) - the film was released in 1950 (all "regular" stills dated 1950) and my still shows the original unused ending shot 1949 before the January 1950 re-shoots! She was looking a little too crazy getting ready for the staircase seen in her bedroom. Hey, I thought this was about The Mole People? ;)
