Many years ago I saw a movie with a very young Elliot Gould.
In the movie he was a photographer who was working on a project on...turds.
Does anybody remember the title of the movie?

Domenico,

You can likely find it by searching Elliot Gould at IMDB.com.

That's the Internet Movie Data Base.

It will give his entire filmography and you can look at the ones that are about in the time frame you remember.

Good luck.

"Little Murders" and with Donald Suttherland.

He was delusioned to the fact that he was such a famous photographer that he could sell pictures of turds.

There is a gentleman named Jules Feiffer who did cartoons for the Village Voice for decades, and who wrote Little Murders, which was originally a play and was later made into a film. There is some information about Feiffer, and a link to his web site, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Feiffer

In the 60s, 70s and early 80s, when the Village Voice was in its heyday, Jules Fieffer was one of the principal reasons why people bought the newspaper. He was awarded one of the three Pulitzer Prizes that the Village Voice has received in its history.

The association of Fieffer, Alan Arkin, Elliott Gould and Donald Sutherland in the film version of Little Murders is not an accident. A Google search for "little murders" is pretty instructive.

There was "The Eyes Of Laura Mars" with Faye Dunnaway. Dunnaway played a fashion photographer with visions of serial killer. I believe Helmut Newton was involved with or did the fashion shots in the movie.

[Gerry]

yes that's correct many of Newton's photos were used in the movie as were Weegee's in "The Pubic Eye"

I think the movie "Closer" features some Avedon's works.
