Pier Angeli in a leotard, fishnet stockings, and ballet shoes seated backwards on a chair and looking up at the camera while resting her head in her arms, 1953. Press snipe reads: “TIME OUT… Pier Angeli takes time out to rest between trapeze stunts during rehearsals for her aerialist role in MGM’s charming ‘Equilibrium’, one of the ‘Three Love Stories’. Ricardo Montalban co-stars with Miss Angeli in this sequence, directed by Gottfried Reinhardt. Sidney Franklin is producing.”
