Vintage original 11.25 x 13.75 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the 1980s musical mystery, DOWN AN ALLEY FILLED WITH CATS, produced in 1988. In Warwick Moss' engaging suspense thriller, two men trapped in an old bookstore maneuver for position as they seek a book containing a valuable secret code.


The image depicts Timmothy Timmony (Larry Gelman) holding Simon Matthews (Tom Wiggin) at gunpoint while the man sits on a chair wearing only a leopard-print Speedo and black socks. This photograph was used for publication in a newspaper and features grease pencil marks on the bottom of the recto. Affixed to the verso is a portion of the actual newspaper clipping of this photograph along with a paper snipe that describes the image. It is in good condition only as shown with various creases. A fun beefcake/LGBTQ-related image!
