Gina Lollobrigida by Raymond Voinquel, 1956
This was taken on the set of Carol Reed's Trapeze

Raymond Voinquel also took a series of photos of Gina Lollobrigida on the set of Jean Delannoy's Notre Dame de Paris, also from 1956.

The goat is trying hard to upstage Gina Lollobrigida in this shot by Raymond Voinquel. She was playing Esmeralda in Jean Delannoy's Notre Dame de Paris, 1956.

The goat, a bit of a prima donna, storms off when Esmeralda begins her dance. A spectacular shot of Gina Lollobrigida by Raymond Voinquel.

Raymond Voinquel is one of the greatest of the on-set still photographers. He obviously had a real rapport with Gina Lollobrigida. These shots of Gina as Esmeralda are wonderful.

I'll save a fuller Raymond Voinquel thread for another time - he did on-set still photography for more than 160 films from 1931-1977! - but I'll add this undated shot of Gina Lollobrigida here.
