Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the popular 1960's low-budget horror thriller, THE TERROR, released in 1963 by American International Pictures (AIP) and directed by Roger Corman. A young officer in Napoleon's Army (Jack Nicholson) pursues a mysterious woman (Sandra Knight) to the castle of an elderly Baron (Boris Karloff).

The image features an interior close shot of Lt. Andre Duvalier (Jack Nicholson) as he holds Helene (Sandra Knight) by the shoulders as she gazes blankly at him. Printed on single-weight stock with a glossy finish, this vintage original photograph is in very fine condition with very light signs of wear on the right corners. The image quality is razor-sharp with fine detail and nice contrast. This is a nice photograph from earlier in the career of Jack Nicholson.

Roger Corman made this picture in the midst of a cycle of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations and considers it an "honorary member" of that cycle. The previous Poe pictures had ended with the castle or mansion being destroyed by fire (Corman's crew had some to look forward to "fire day") but with this one, Corman decided to change the formula and have the castle destroyed by a flood instead. Noting the abundance of Second Unit Directors who had worked on the film, four, to that point, Jack Nicholson requested and received permission to direct the climactic flood sequence himself. Jack Nicholson, while being interviewed for the documentary Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel (2011), insists that the finished movie has no cohesive plotline. He gleefully recounts the scene where his character throws Stefan (Dick Miller) against a wall and threatens him, to which the Stefan character attempts to explain where the story is through ham-fisted, probably last-minute dialogue additions.
