Description:
Vintage borderless photograph from the 1959 experimental short film. From the estate of director Robert Board, who also snapped the photograph of actor Neyle Morrow on the set.
In addition to creating numerous short films beginning in the 1940s, Board was an actor, puppeteer, and man about town in classic Hollywood, whose recollections are featured in a chapter of Paul Zollo's "Hollywood Remembered: An Oral History of Its Golden Age." "The Mute" tells the story of a deaf-mute, who serves as a deckhand on a salvage tug, and his desire of connection with those around him. The film purportedly had a small screening at Cannes in 1960, though no official record we could find exists.
7.5 x 9.5 inches. Very Good plus, with light creasing.
