Filming Elia Kazan's "Wild River"--Tennessee 10 Possibly 1959

"Filming Elia Kazan's 'Wild River'--Tennessee 10," is a contact sheet from Robert Frank's 1959 book, "The Americans." The contact sheet includes 24 black and white photographs of the film set, "Wild River," directed by Elia Kazan. The photograph shows several snapshots from the film, with a focus on behind-the-scenes moments, including the filming of a scene with a car. This contact sheet is a reminder of Frank's documentation of American culture and his use of photography as a tool to capture the everyday life of his subjects. "The Americans" is a seminal work of photojournalism, and this contact sheet is a powerful example of Frank's ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
