Orson Welles’ THE TRIAL (1962) Photo archive

Set of sixteen vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photos. Eight have production information in bottom margin, overall about fine.

Orson Welles directed and wrote, with Pierre Cholot and based on Franz Kafka’s novel, this nightmare tale about a man who awakens to police at his door and learns he will be put on trial, but for what he does not know. He cannot determine what crime he is accused of and there seems to be no answer nor escape.

The darkness of the story is well represented in this collection of scene stills featuring the major players Anthony Perkins, Jeanne Moreau, Elsa Martinelli, Romy Schneider and Orson Welles.
