Desk Set Original screenplay for the 1957 film
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1957. Pre-production Continuity script for the 1957 film. Based on William Marchant's 1956 play. The penultimate Hepburn and Tracy film and a significant script in that dialogue-which sees many changes here-was always at the heart of the pair's nine on-screen collaborations. "Desk Set" is also significant in that it was one of the first major motion pictures to address computing: when IBM introduced its state-of-the-art computer SSEC in 1948 it was called a computational machine because the term "computer" then referred to people involved in computation and IBM founder Thomas Watson worried its use would feed public fears of machines replacing workers. Still sensitive to the issue in 1956 IBM assisted in the production of "The Desk Set" in which Tracy plays an engineer who brings havoc into an office with the introduction of EMMARAC Electro-Magnetic Memory and Research Arithmetical Calculator. Orange titled wrappers noted as FIRST DRAFT CONTINUITY on the front wrapper rubber-stamped copy No. 2 dated October 12 1956. Distribution page present with receipt removed.

Greed Original herald for the 1924 film's premiere
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1924. Vintage herald or broadside for the 1924 film. A clever and excessively rare bit of advertisement designed as a "Wanted" poster pulling together the main character from Frank Norris' novel John "Doc" McTeague a photo of "McTeague" Gibson Gowland and mention of a specific screening at San Francisco's Imperial Theatre on Market Street today the Market Street Cinema. <br/><br/>The first cut of Stroheim's "Greed" was a mammoth 9.5-hour presentation. All that survives today is a restored slightly choppy but coherent 240-minute version supplanted with still photographs that conveys to the viewer the unimaginable grandeur of the original. Very little paper advertisement has survived. The only poster that has ever surfaced is a disappointing window card showing none of the characters and this remarkable broadside the only example we have ever encountered. <br/><br/>13 x 6 inches.
