Universal City CA: Republic Pictures / Pax Films / Universal Pictures 1961. Forrest J. Ackerman's copy of scripts from two key science fiction films bound together including original front wrappers in red buckram with Ackerman's name in gilt at the bottom right corner of the front board.

The first of three adaptations of Curt Siodmak's classic 1942 novel in which an honest hard-working scientist preserves a dead man's brain only to be remote-controlled by it. Shot by the legendary John Alton at the very peak of his work in the mid-1940s. Yellow front studio wrapper noted as SHOOTING SCRIPT at the top right dated October 13 1943 a penciled notation of the working title "The Lady and the Monster" just below the printed title noted as production No. 1194 and with credits for associate producer George Sherman and Republic Studios at the bottom. Two-page cast of characters with the actors' names added in ribbon copy type just below the character names.

Guest ultimately directed the story as a feature-length movie for Pax one of the most understated and intelligent science fiction films ever made. Light green wrappers both front and rear wrappers present. The front wrapper reads: "A Five Part Serialisation of / THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE / A Val Guest Production." Just below in holograph ink and in what we would assume is Guest's hand is written "Dedicated to Brian Aldiss." We think it likely that the script was gifted to the very connected Ackerman by Guest though the provenance beyond Ackerman's ownership is unknown. 41 pages divided into five parts each beginning with a two-color memo on PAX stationery describing what will happen in the following section. Pages and wrapper about Near Fine. Buckram binding containing the two scripts is Very Good with some light scuffing and soil. Martin 413. Republic Pictures / Pax Films / Universal Pictures unknown

Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehort die Welt Who Owns the World Whither Germany Original poster for the 1932 film
Germany: Kinematrade 1933. Vintage US poster for the 1932 German communist propaganda film "Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehort die Welt" The subtitle is seen here under the English translation "Whither Germany." Circa 1933 as identified by the name of the Philadelphia theatre on the poster. <br/><br/>The last and arguably most important communist film of the Weimar era "Kuhle Wampe oder" is according to screenwriter Brecht a "Collective Presentation" that tells the tale of a family in early 1930s Berlin. After the son is prolongedly unemployed he commits suicide and the family is forced to relocate to a shantytown known as "Kuhle Wampe" or "Empty Stomach." Created under severely limited material conditions with filming constantly being broken up by the Weimar government's paramilitary SA agency the film attempts to depict archetypes of the times including an intellectual clash on a subway between members of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. <br/><br/>Banned first by the failing Weimar Republic and subsequently by the Nazi Reich the film was believed to have been lost until it reappeared over 20 years later in East Germany in 1958. This poster likely originates from screenings held in November 1933 by an unknown pro-communist organization in Philadelphia at the short lived left-leaning Philkino theater. A US screening of this film dating before the film's disappearance and only just after the very beginnings of Hitler's rise to power makes this poster not only very scarce but one of significant historical value. <br/><br/>The poster touting "Kuhle Wampe" as "The Film Hitler Burned" features an image of a man with a hammer and sickle attacking two snakes that form the Nazi swastika and touts the involvement of members of the "Labor Sports Union" in the film. <br/><br/>9.5 x 13 inches letterpress on pale faded pink stock. Very Good condition with a couple of tiny chips at the extremities and moderate creasing. Kinematrade unknown books
