Franz Kafka (source), Orson Welles (director) THE TRIAL [1962] French photo archive

The Trial. 1962. Photos. [Paris: Union Générale Cinématographique (UGC), 1962]. Set of eight vintage original 9 x 11 3/8″ (23 x 29 cm) double weight borderless French photos, overall fine.

Although a co-production, much of The Trial was shot and edited in France. Billboards in Paris in December, 1962, trumpeted this as the major French film of the year.

These photos are very scarce and beautifully illustrate the claustrophobic design of Orson Welles‘ film.
