JEAN-LUC GODARD | UNE FEMME MARIÉE [A MARRIED WOMAN] (1964) BTS photo – 2

Vintage original 7 x 9″ (18.5 x 24 cm.) borderless black-and-white print still photo, France. Macha Meril, Philippe Leroy, dir: Jean-Luc Godard; Columbia. Scarce behind-the-scenes French photo of director Jean-Luc Godard positioning Macha Meril for a provocative shot, for his 1964 drama UNE FEMME MARIÉE [A MARRIED WOMAN]. He is obviously being very precise as to how he is lining her up for the camera.

With stamp of film, which was originally to be titled La femme mariée [The Married Woman], a title which caused trouble with French censorship, a problem fixed by changing “the” to “a”. FINE.
