Rare production still of #LouiseBrooks at the firing squad wall in 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘪𝘳 (1927), captured by famed Hollywood portrait photographer #EugeneRobertRichee

In this silent, WW1-era comedy, Brooks plays twins – one raised French, the other raised German.
1927 production still of Louise Brooks at the firing squad wall in 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘪𝘳 (Paramount Pictures), taken by famed Hollywood portrait photographer Eugene Robert Richee Ms. Brooks—clad in a light summer dress, white silk headscarf, and a white sweater tied around her shoulders—is looking on defiantly as a man’s arm reaches toward her from camera right, offering her a final cigarette. The firing squad wall behind her is riddled with bullet holes, several of which have various graffiti slogans (e.g., “Nice Shot,” “This is the Spot Where the Last Spy Died”) scrawled next to them. 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘪𝘳 was long believed to be a lost film. Three fragments were discovered in 2016 in a Czech archive: most of the surviving material was incomplete and badly deteriorated, but approximately 23 minutes of the original six-reel film was able to be preserved to the point of crystalline clarity, including a lengthy sequence in which Louise Brooks wears a black tutu. The print was found in Prague at the Národní filmový archiv (the Czech Republic’s National Film Archive) by film preservationist Robert Byrne. "When Byrne inspected the elements for 𝘙𝘪𝘧 𝘢 𝘙𝘢𝘧, 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘪 (the Czech title for 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘪𝘳), he found the film had only partially survived in a state which also showed nitrate decomposition. Additionally, the surviving scenes were found to be out of order, and there were Czech-language titles in place of the original American titles. Byrne spent more than eight months reconstructing the surviving material, including restoring the film’s original English-language intertitles and original tinting.” The preserved print of the restored fragment of 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘪𝘳 was shown at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival on June 2, 2017.
