SAM FULLER | PARK ROW (1952) Set of 2 publicity photos

[Hollywood]: United Artists, 1952. Set of two vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white print still photos, each with affixed descriptive text on verso and stickers of a photo agency. The horizontal photo is a bit creased in the area where the paper snipe was attached on back; the vertical photo has a crease at top middle, overall near fine or better.

Writer-director Sam Fuller‘s fifth feature film, about a small, visionary newspaper editor facing ruthless competition in late-nineteenth century New York City. Both photos have in the background a display of nineteenth century newspapers with troubling headlines. The vertical photo shows Fuller with the New York Post columnist Leonard Lyons as they hold up an 1869 New York Post. The horizontal photo shows Fuller with Richard Berlin (who was head of the Hearst media empire) and New York Post columnist George Sokolsky.
