Fantomas Original double weight still photograph from the 1913 film serial
Neuilly-sur-Seine France: Gaumont 1913. Vintage double weight matte finish photograph from the legendary 1913 silent film serial. Printed onto heavy card stock for use as the equivalent of a modern day lobby card. With the Gaumont logo at the lower right corner. <br/><br/>The first of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces followed by "Les Vampires" 1915 and "Judex" 1916. Feuillade took the brave task of putting to film Fantomas already wildly popular with European audiences. The character can be seen as an outgrowth of the "hero thief" character Arsene Lupin from turn-of-the-century French fiction. But unlike Lupin Fantomas was completely comfortable killing those who got in his way sadistically and with no small amount of enjoyment. <br/><br/>The scene pictured here shows Jaques Dollon Andre Luguetat at the police station sitting at the center having been framed by Fantomas. The journalist Fandor Georges Melchior standing in for Inspector Juve who is on the lam in disguise as a hobo stands over Dollon as a police inspector sits at a corner desk. Dollon goes on to escape then be captured by Fantomas who murders him cuts off his fingers and throws his body into the river. Fantomas then sews the fingers into a glove and commits further crimes continuing to implicate Dollon who in addition to being innocent is now dead. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches. Mounted on brown card stock. <br/><br/>Hardy The BFI Companion to Crime p. 125-126. Gaumont unknown books

Les vampires Original photograph from the 1915 French film serial

Shown here is Musidora as Irma Vep conferring with another member of The Vampires an anarchist criminal gang at the center of the story. <br/><br/>The director's magnum opus "Les vampires" is one of the great crime epics nearly 7 hours in length acknowledged as a strong influence on the surrealists and by directors Alfred Hitchcock and Fritz Lang in the development of the thriller as well as the earliest masters of avant-garden cinema. The second of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces preceded by "Fantomas" 1913 and followed by "Judex" 1915 combining elements of both. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches.

Louis Feuillade director screenwriter; Rene Creste Musidora starring
Judex Original double weight photograph from the 1916 film
Neuilly-sur-Seine France: Gaumont 1916. Vintage double weight matte finish still photograph from the legendary 1916 silent film serial. With the Gaumont logo at the lower right corner. <br/><br/>The last of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces preceded by "Fantomas" 1913 and "Les Vampires" 1915 combining elements of both its predecessors. In Judex Latin for "judge" Feuillade furthered his vision of the dark enigmatic anti-hero he introduced with the legendary Fantomas character and utilized Musidora-who played the lead character Irma Vep in "Les Vampires"-as the villainess. Judex was a step forward from the criminal Fantomas however predicting pulp heroes to come such as The Shadow and especially Batman in the US: he was a masterful fighter an expert in disguise and kept his headquarters in the subterranean passages beneath a ruined castle lavishly outfitted with high tech gadgets. Feuillade shot "Judex" in 1914 but the outbreak of World War I delayed release in France until 1916 and wide release until 1917. <br/><br/>Pictured here is Judex cunning and silent in a stunt scene where in he attempts what we suspect will be successful entry into an unsuspecting criminal's car while the vehicle is in motion. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches. A few pinholes at the corners else Near Fine. <br/><br/>Hardy The BFI Companion to Crime p. 187-188. Gaumont unknown books

Robinson Crusoe Original screenplay for the 1954 film with a TLS from the producer and 6 still photographs from the film
Mexico City: Ultramar Films 1952. Draft script for the 1954 Mexican film. Included is a typed letter signed from the film's producer Edward L. Alperson on his custom rough-edged stationery discussing the possibility of distribution within the US. Distribution was eventually taken on by United Artists and Daniel O'Herlihy received a Best Actor nomination for his performance. Also included are seven film still photographs from the film. <br/><br/>A rare pre-production script from Luis Bunuel's first color film one of the key productions from his Mexican period written with Hugo Butler who was at the time living in self-imposed exile in Mexico with Dalton Trumbo both blacklisted by the HUAC and writing under various pseudonyms. Single substantive holograph pencil correction toward the end of the text. <br/><br/>One of Bunuel's more straightforward narratives quite faithful to the source material but with a whopping dream sequence as bizarre as anything one might find in the director's later work. <br/><br/>Tall side-stapled self-wrappers dated "Mexico / 1952" with credits for director-screenwriter Bunuel screenwriter Butler under the Roll pseudonym and producers Oscar Dancigers and Henry F. Ehrlich. 95 leaves mimeograph duplication. Very Good condition toned at the edges some offsetting to the front wrapper and a 1-inch tear at the left margin. Ultramar Films unknown books
