Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the classic 1940's comedy/drama romance, ADVENTURE, released in 1945 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by Victor Fleming. This dark, romantic, complicated drama is about a rowdy merchant mariner (Clark Gable) and sophisticated librarian (Greer Garson) who clash over their lifestyles and values - and then fall in love. The cast includes Joan Blondell, Thomas Mitchell, Tom Tully, John Qualen, Richard Haydn, and Lina Romay.

This is the film which had the famous tagline, "Gable's back -- and Garson's got him!" The image features a great interior shot of librarian Emily Sears (Greer Garson) pulling the blankets off of her beautiful blonde roommate, Helen Melohn (Joan Blondell) as the two beauties greet a new day. It is in very fine- condition with random signs of light wear on three of the corners. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws.

Provenance: The Collection of Carlos Clarens. Carlos Clarens (1930–1987) was a film historian and writer on the cinema, particularly noted for his sensitive, pioneering An Illustrated History of the Horror Film (1967, revised 1968). Having left Havana in his younger years, he made his mark in both Paris and New York, providing subtitles in the five languages with which he was fluent. One of the films he provided subtitles for was Franco Zeffirelli's La Traviata. He also worked as a production assistant for Jacques Demy and Robert Bresson while he was living in Paris. Upon his death, tributes were held at New York's Little Theatre at the Public Theater, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Paris' Cinematheque.
