Filming Elia Kazan's "Wild River"--Tennessee 19 Possibly 1959

Robert Frank’s “Filming Elia Kazan’s ‘Wild River’—Tennessee 19” is a contact sheet of 24 black and white photographs taken during the filming of Elia Kazan’s 1960 movie “Wild River” in Tennessee. The contact sheet, possibly from 1959, is a prime example of Frank's documentary style, which captures the raw, candid moments of everyday life. The images capture the film’s set, actors, and crew in a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process. Frank was a prolific photographer, best known for his iconic 1958 book "The Americans," which explored the social and cultural landscapes of the United States.
