US double-weight matte photograph from the 1960s airport-themed drama, THE V.I.P.S, released in 1963 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by Anthony Asquith, in which as fog delays departure for a group of travelers bound for New York City, they wait at the lounge of London's Heathrow airport, each passenger at a moment of crisis in his or her life.
