THE 10TH VICTIM PHOTOGRAPH

Spy Vibers with deep pockets may be interested in this super rare photograph that has come up for sale on eBay France. Taken by photographer Tazio Secchiaroli on the set of Elio Petri's The 10th Victim in 1965, this original print depicts Elsa Martinelli and the film's overall Mod and Op-Art design style. The back includes an agency stamp and inscription. 18x24cm. Viewers of Fellini's films will be familiar with Secchiroli's work- he even inspired the Paparazzo character portrayed by Marcello Mastroianni in La Dolce Vita (also inspiring the term 'paparazzi'). And now one of his photographs of The 10th Victim is available! Readers know this film looms large in my Spy Vibe universe. In fact, the Blu-ray edition features my collection as the image gallery. Thankfully I've been able to find pieces that fit my art teacher budget- until now. I hope this photograph finds a great home with a fellow fan. Enjoy!
