1969Best.-Nr. 149604Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1969. Three vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1969 film a highlight of early New Hollywood cinema. One shows actor Harold Blankenship the other with actors Robert Forster Peter Bonerz and Janet Langhart.

Due to its startlingly political narrative as well as nudity and language the film was originally given an X rating by the MPAA though by 1970 this would be downgraded to an R. One photograph 10 x 8 inches one photograph 9.5 x 7.25 inches. Near Fine. Criterion Collection 658. Spicer US Neo-Noir. Paramount Pictures unknown
