FairyTale: A True Story, Prop 'Strand Magazine'

original movie prop

A magazine used in the Harvey Keitel and Peter O’Toole movie Fairy Tale A True Story. The prop magazine was used in a scene about half way through the film. The magazine features an article written by Peter O’Toole ’s character Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about the girls. The magazine has ‘Fairies Photographed, An Epoch-Making Event Described By A. Conan Doyle’. This particular magazine is not just set dressing, as several pages are glued so that it stays open on specific pages; which would only be done if the prop were to be handled on the set.
