‎Archive of production photographs and ephemera from "2001: A Space Odyssey" from the collection of scientific advisor Frederick I. Ordway III‎

‎Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1968. Archive including 20 vintage linen-backed production photographs a trade advertisement a film program and a souvenir booklet from the 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey." From the collection of NASA scientific consultant Frederick I. Ordway III with images prominently featuring Ordway production designer Harry Lange Arthur C. Clarke Stanley Kubrick and others. One photograph has Ordway's name written on the recto in silver marker. All photographs mounted on matte board as issued. <br/><br/>Ordway and Clarke began working together on matters of science fact in 1951 and Clarke personally invited him to be the factual advisor on the film. <br/><br/>Kubrick's sprawling science fiction epic traces the evolution of human intelligence under the influence of an unspecified alien force. Along with "Blade Runner" Kubrick's masterpiece forever altered the standard for visual and conceptual sophistication in science fiction and genre films. The pre-production for the film set standards as well as Kubrick hired one of the greatest science fiction authors of the 1960s Arthur C. Clarke to be his screenwriter and hired over 20 scientists like Ordway to consult on every detail of the film. The film's high degree of scientific accuracy coupled with bleeding-edge special effects and minimal use of dialogue make "2001" universally recognized as one of the most influential films ever made. The development of the film was kept strictly under wraps and behind-the-scenes material of any kind is rare. <br/><br/>Winner of an Academy Award for Best Special Effects and nominated for three others including Best Director. Set in space shot on location in Scotland England Arizona and Utah. <br/><br/>Photographs 8 x 10 inches mounted on 11 x 14 inch matte board. Trade advertisement 9 x 12 inches full color creased. Souvenir booklet 7.25 x 16 inches full color 12 leaves saddle stapled folded. Program 5.5 x 8.5 inches black and white saddle stapled single leaf.

Two late production states of the script for the 1945 film based on a story idea by Jack Wagner cowritten with John Steinbeck and adapted as a screenplay by Frank Butler. The release dialogue script records a print totaling 51 more feet than the censorship script. Irving Pichel directed and Dorothy Lamour J. Carrol Naish and Arturo de Cordova led the cast. Obviously little apart from Steinbeck's treatment for the film the Valentine collection included a carbon typescript may be easily identified as purely Steinbeck's work; however nothing relating to the script saw lifetime publication so even continuity scripts such as these take on some significance for Steinbeck scholars.

‎The Story of Temple Drake Collection of five original photographs from the 1933 film‎

‎Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1933. Collection of five vintage photographs from the 1933 film.<br/><br/>Based on William Faulkner's 1931 controversial literary potboiler "Sanctuary." The story concerns a wealthy and neurotic Southern belle who falls in with a violent bootlegger who rapes her and forces her into prostitution. Every bit as controversial as the source material the film's depiction of the assault was graphic and shocking even among films of the era and along with the same year's equally sensational "Baby Face" was directly responsible for the stricter enforcement of the Production Code beginning the next year bringing the pre-Code era to a close. <br/><br/>George Raft then under contract to Paramount was assigned the role of the bootlegger but found the part repulsive and went to battle with the studio in a suit that nearly cost him his career. <br/><br/>Unavailable for decades outside of 16mm bootlegs the film was restored by the Museum of Modern Art in 2011 and screened at the TCM Classic Film Festival but still awaits a commercial release. <br/><br/>Photographs between 9.75 x 7.5 and 8 x 10 inches.
