ADVISE AND CONSENT (1962) Set of 32 photos

[Hollywood]: Columbia Pictures, [1962]. Set of thirty-two (32) vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white print still photos, FINE.

An exceptionally large set of images from director Otto Preminger’s classic film about Washington, D.C., politics. A crucial aspect of the plot is a narrative thread about a young Mormon senator from Utah, who once had a gay romance while serving in World War II and who is now being blackmailed. The film, very daringly for 1962, included what is Hollywood’s first scene in a gay bar, which is portrayed here.
