Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)
Original Paramount Pictures b&w publicity still #RLA-7176.
This portrait is the definitive look of the "modern adventurer," a character archetype that Harrison Ford and director Steven Spielberg used to redefine the action blockbuster. Raiders of the Lost Ark successfully resurrected the spirit of 1930s adventure serials, blending them with 1980s filmmaking.
Here, we are looking at a determined and weary Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) in a tight close-up. This shot captures the essence of Indy: sweat-streaked, unshaven, and focused, wearing the iconic fedora that has become synonymous with the character.
This still includes an original Paramount Pictures ‘Snipe’ on the reverse, adding another layer of provenance and authenticity to the piece
Quick Trivia: To give Indy’s fedora its "lived-in" look, the costume designers famously sat on it, rolled it up, and even rubbed it in the dirt before Harrison Ford ever put it on
