You can see the original at The Art Institute of Chicago. Believe me, it has impact. Maybe the Art Institute could be pursueded to issue a nice reproduction for sale.

Somehow his veiwing was interupted, and in the interium, I in all innocence mentioned something about the climax-portrait... thinking EVERYBODY, even if they never read it or seen the movie, knows the jist of the film. I'm still shocked my uncle had no clue what was coming up, and very sorry I spoiled it for him. That Dick Smith portrait is creeping me out. Maybe I have some latent memory of being scared by it as a child. Did it feature as an FM cover? "NO BEDS!"
