On one of those glorious Sunday afternoons on the backlots of 20th Century Fox, Milton and Marilyn photograph the Peasant Sitting.

Taken on May 24, 1954, this series was photographed on the French village set used for 'What Price Glory'. Milton, inspired by the screenplay 'The Brothers Karamazov', believed in Marilyn's ability to be a dramatic actress and to prove it to her, photographed her in the costume that Jennifer Jones wore in her Oscar performance, 'Song of Bernadette'.

 Dressed in heavy black hose, peasant skirt, and wooden clogs, Milton photographs Marilyn seated on the stairwell.
