MARIE-FRANCE PISIER appears as cabaret singer Anna in this wonderfully detailed black-and-white dressing-room photograph from LE VAMPIRE DE DÜSSELDORF (1965), seated while an attendant carefully laces her tall boot. Mirrors, illuminated makeup bulbs, cosmetics, hanging costumes and the crowded dressing table surround Pisier, while the unusual boot-lacing action transforms the composition into an intimate study of Anna’s backstage world rather than a conventional glamour image.

Written, directed by and starring Robert Hossein, LE VAMPIRE DE DÜSSELDORF casts Hossein as historical serial killer Peter Kürten opposite Pisier as Anna, the cabaret singer with whom he becomes obsessed. The French-Italian-Spanish production was photographed in stark black and white by Alain Levent, with music by André Hossein and Raymond Voinquel credited as production still photographer. Released internationally as THE VAMPIRE OF DUSSELDORF and in Italy as LA BELVA DI DÜSSELDORF, the film approaches the Kürten story as a psychologically charged crime thriller rather than supernatural vampire horror.

Carefully restored from archival photographic materials and professionally lab-developed, this museum-quality photograph is presented uncropped, preserving the complete image area contained in the original studio-issued archival material. Pisier’s poised seated figure, the attendant lacing her boot and the richly cluttered cabaret dressing room make this an especially distinctive image for collectors of LE VAMPIRE DE DÜSSELDORF, Marie-France Pisier, Robert Hossein and 1960s European crime cinema.
