An original Universal Pictures black-and-white press photograph for the 1991 Lasse Hallström film Once Around, measuring the standard 10 x 8 inches and supplied loose as a single unframed still, reference number 5410-8. The image shows three figures outdoors among bare winter trees: a smiling woman in a pale coat at left, an older man in a dark overcoat and scarf at centre shaking hands with a man in a quilted body-warmer at right, with a timber-framed structure behind them. Printed beneath the image is the studio caption, "As his daughter Renata (HOLLY HUNTER) watches, Joe Bella (DANNY AIELLO) welcomes Sam Sharp (RICHARD DREYFUSS) to his home."

Background

Once Around was released by Universal Pictures in January 1991 and was the first English-language feature directed by Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallström, following his Oscar-nominated My Life as a Dog. It starred Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter alongside Danny Aiello and Gena Rowlands, with a score by James Horner. Stills like this one were produced by the studio's publicity department and sent to newspapers, magazines and cinemas to illustrate reviews and features, which is why the caption and full credit block are printed directly onto the photographic paper. Press photos were issued in small numbers for trade use rather than sold to the public, and surviving examples with an intact caption are collected today as original promotional material from a film's release.

Who it's for

This will appeal to film memorabilia and original press still collectors, fans of Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, Danny Aiello and Gena Rowlands, followers of director Lasse Hallström building a complete run of his work, and anyone wanting an authentic piece of early-1990s Hollywood publicity material to frame for a home cinema, study or hallway.

Estimated Date

1991. The still carries the full Universal Pictures credit block for Once Around, which was released in January 1991, and the studio reference number 5410-8. Publicity stills for this title were prepared in late 1990 for the January 1991 release, so 1990 is also possible for the printing itself.
