Roger Soubie beautifully captures the three main stars of the film in these brightly coloured and contrasting door panels.

Exceptionally rare set of French door panels, that have only surfaced a few times in the last twenty years.

This film was written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. Roslyn Taber (Marilyn Monroe) heads to Reno, Nevada to get a quick divorce. The film is about her time there, and the people that she meets: her friendly landlady (Thelma Ritter), ageing cowboy (Clark Gable), the cowboy's friend (Eli Wallach) and their rodeo-riding friend (Montgomery Clift). Monroe, Gable, Clift and Wallach all gave really superb performances in this film.
