CHESS - CHESS GAME Martin Landau, Don Francks… during the filming of an episode of the TV series "Mission: Impossible," 1968. 2 photos, vintage silver gelatin prints, captioned (dated label) on the back of one, press clippings + stamps (including dates) and annotations on both. Note: This set of two photographs taken in 1968 is related to the filming of an episode of the famous television series *Mission: Impossible* (*Impossible Mission*), featuring actors Martin Landau and Don Francks playing a game of chess. Airing beginning in 1966, the series quickly established itself as one of the most influential productions in the spy genre thanks to its storylines centered on strategy, infiltration, and psychological manipulation. The game of chess, often used in film and television as a symbol of intelligence, foresight, and intellectual confrontation, fits perfectly into the series’ universe. Martin Landau, who played the character Rollin Hand, contributed significantly to the series’ international success and was honored for his performance. Accompanied by press clippings and captions from the era, these prints offer fascinating insights into the promotion and behind-the-scenes story of a series that became iconic in 1960s television culture. 18 x 22.8 cm each, including white borders. Some signs of handling.
