Auction History Result 4x346 BASTARD 15 8x10 stills '69 Rita Hayworth, Giuliano Gemma, Klaus Kinski, Margaret Lee Date Sold 11/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 15 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) I Bastardi (released in English-speaking countries in 1969 as "The Bastard"), the 1968 Duccio Tessari Italian family relationship revenge crime thriller ("Men... and women... will do strange things for one million dollars"; "Sons of Satan ...and their mother, the Queen of Crime."; about two gangster brothers, and one betrays the other, and has him beaten and steals his girlfriend, and he spends the rest of the movie getting revenge) starring Rita Hayworth, Giuliano Gemma, Klaus Kinski, Margaret Lee, and Claudine Auger. Note that Rita Hayworth plays the mother of the two brothers that the movie is really about, but she got top billing, surely solely on the basis of her star power and that it would increase the box office of the movie. But when this movie was made, she was already showing signs of the Alzheimer's disease that would end her career, and she had great difficulty with her lines. The entire movie is pretty much a mess, and it apparently is all in English, even though it is Italian. It apparently never had a U.S. release, although international one-sheets were printed with the U.S. title, likely for other English-speaking countries.

THIS LOT CONTAINS 15 STILLS, BUT ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 15 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the eight pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best eight stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Note that these stills appear in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were used in French speaking parts of Canada, but they were printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us! So they are original stills from 1968, but they were printed for use in parts of Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The still second from top right appears to have paper loss in the right border, but the paper is simply folded back and there is NO paper loss. Otherwise, the stills are in nice condition!
