STEIGER, Rod. Signed Photograph from "The Sergeant". [1969].
10 x 8 inch black and white photograph of Steiger in character as Sgt. Callan in the 1968 Warner Bros film The Sergeant.
Signed in blue ink by the actor.
In 1968, Steiger played a repressed gay non-commissioned officer opposite John Phillip Law in John Flynn's The Sergeant for Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, which earned him the David di Donatello Award for Best Foreign Actor. Despite the award win, film critic Pauline Kael of The New Yorker was particularly critical of the casting of Steiger as a homosexual and felt that he was "totally outside his range", to which Steiger concurred that he was ineffective.
