Black and white publicity photograph of Glenn Ford in his role as Jesse Craig in the made for TV movie Evening in Byzantium.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Steve -/Glenn Ford". B/w, 8x9¾ overall, image 7¼x8 (one surface). ©1978, Universal City Studios, Inc. Captioned at lower margin: "Jesse Craig (GLENN FORD), a once-great movie producer, finds himself embroiled in a life and death world of international intrigue at the Cannes Film Festival in MCA TV/Universal's Operation Prime Time presentation of Irwin Shaw's 'EVENING IN BYZANTIUM.'" In addition to starring in this made-for-TV movie in 1978, Ford was also seen on the small screen in No Margin for Error and on an episode of Police Story. He also appeared as Jonathan Kent in Superman: The Movie. After making his screen debut in 20th Century-Fox's Heaven With a Barbed Wire Fence (1939), Canadian-born actor Glenn Ford (1916-2006), born Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford, showed his diversity in a wide variety of genres, playing dark characters (The Blackboard Jungle and Ransom, both released in 1955), romantic leading men (Teahouse of the August Moon, 1956; The Gazebo, 1959) and rugged Western heroes (The Desperados, 1943; The Sheepman, 1958; Cimarron, 1960). In 1958, Ford was voted the number one male box-office attraction, and he was able to extend his popularity long after the studio system that "created" him had collapsed. Later in his career, he appeared on television. Slightly creased at blank margins and corners, black mark at mid-right margin. Minor surface creases (not evident head on). Fine condition.
