‎Yesterday's Heroes Original screenplay for the 1940 film‎

‎Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1940. Final script for the 1940 film. The AFI Catalog notes: "According to a Twentieth Century- Fox press release this was the first writing effort for Fox sound man William Brent. After his story was bought Brent was made a writer at the studio. Also the first screenwriter assignment for Irving Cummings Jr. and William Conselman Jr. Both men were "second generation Hollywood" as Cummings' father was a director and Conselman's a screenwriter. "According to Twentieth Century-Fox press releases the football sequences were shot at the Los Angeles Olympic Stadium and at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Despite a summer heat wave the extras were required to wear heavy winter coats. As such large wind machines behind huge cakes of ice were used to cool off the fields. Thirty-four college football players from local universities were used as extras in this film. They included USC's Ambrose Schindler Bill Howard Red Morgan Tony Tonelli Ollie Day and Owen Hansen and UCLA's Billy Bob Williams Bill Overlin and Bill Radovich. Location filming was done at the Inglewood Railway Station as the station received little use. Because only two freight trains used the station each day movie extras were the only passengers ever to use the station. The press release also reported that the rental cost of a four-car train at the station was $150 per day. HR reported that Fox borrowed Lewis Howard from Universal Pictures for this film."

Three vintage black and white second generation photographs from the groundbreaking 1938 film documenting the 1936 Summer Olympipcs held in Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Released in two parts "Olympia: Festival of Nations" and "Olympia: Festival of Beauty." From the archive of Maurice Bessy with his rubber stamp and light holograph annotations on the verso. <br/><br/>Based on Riefenstahl's photobook from the previous year "Schonheit im Olympischen Kampf." A rare example where a photobook and a film are equally important as both works of art and a historical document. Riefenstahl made the book and the film as propaganda for Hitler and spent a lifetime trying to live down her devotion to him but this work in particular is so powerful as to stand apart from the reasons for which it was made. Easily the most visceral and important document of The Olympics and the spirit of human physical achievement ever produced. <br/><br/>Variously sized between 3.5 x 7 inches and 5 x 6 inches.

"How I Won the War" follows a small company of British infantry in North Africa during World War II with a heaping spoonful of stylized cinematography fourth wall breaking newsreel footage and slapstick absurdist humor. One of the first anti-war films of the late 1960s that reflected the souring public opinion of the Vietnam War and arguably director Richard Lester's first "serious" film. John Lennon's circular-rim glasses which while originally a prop for the film would be the signature frames he would wear for the rest of his life. He spent every day of production on set even when not required to be there purportedly because he enjoyed being treated as a normal person. Ringo Starr kept Lennon company during much of his time in Spain as well and Lennon wrote "Strawberry Fields Forever" while on location. Set in Europe and North Africa shot on location in Spain and Germany. Gray wrappers with a die-cut title window in the British style.
