A
contact sheet or print
is a photographic
image
produced from
film
; sometimes from a film
negative
, and sometimes from a film positive or
paper negative
.  This contact print, produced on November 30, 1965,  was produced from the film shot for the movie.  Typically, the director will look at a contact print to see which images are ok and which need to be removed.  As you can see on this contact print, the word "kill"  has been written in red on images they don't want to use.  In this case, one of the images shows Jack Lemmon's underware so that shot is "killed".  This contact print shows both lead actors, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and the director Billy Wilder in several of the shots. This is a great piece of original memorabilia and you rarely see contact prints available.
