Winning (1969)

Original Universal Studios b&w behind the scenes photo still from Winning (1969).

Offering a relaxed glimpse into the making of one of Hollywood’s great racing films. Directed by Robert Wise and starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Winning is remembered for its authenticity, kinetic race sequences, and Newman’s real-life passion for motorsport, a film that helped cement his status as both screen icon and genuine racing enthusiast.

The still captures Paul Newman seated casually beside director Robert Wise and Joanne Woodward during a break in production. Newman holds a bottle loosely at his side, dressed down and contemplative, while Wise smiles broadly at the centre, and Woodward stands poised, mid-conversation. Framed against a production trailer, the image has an informal, candid quality, revealing the camaraderie and calm focus behind a film driven by speed, precision, and competitive intensity.
 
This still includes an original Universal Studios ‘Snipe’ on the reverse, adding another layer of provenance and authenticity to the piece.
