Viva Zapata Original photograph from the 1952 film
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1952. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1952 film. Snipe printed on the verso. The culmination of screenwriter Steinbeck's long-standing fascination with Zapata it was said that Steinbeck had begun work on such a screenplay as early as 1948. The subject was a touchy one as the MPAA's Production Code Administration had been discouraging studios from working on such a film and there were prolonged negotiations with the Mexican government about approval over the film's release that culminated in a second cut of the film especially for Mexican distribution. Kazan and Steinbeck both ex-communists are said to have used this film to metaphorically express how they felt communism in the Soviet Union had gone off the rails. The film won Anthony Quinn an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and it was nominated for four others. It also won Best Actor at Cannes and was nominated for the Grand Prize. Set in early twentieth century Mexico shot at the Twentieth Century-Fox back lot with location shooting along the Rio Grande and across the American Southwest. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine two holograph annotations one in black ink one in graphite to the verso. Twentieth Century-Fox unknown

Boy Friend The Original Polish poster for the 1971 film
Poland: ZGK 1973. Original Polish A1 poster circa 1973 for the 1971 British-American film. Artwork by Jakub Erol. <br/><br/>Hal Erickson: "The Boy Friend" began life as Sandy Wilson's small-scale pastiche of British musical comedies of the 1920s. When the play was brought to America in 1954 its star was the teenage Julie Andrews. Because the musical required a minimum of sets props and costumes it became a favorite of amateur theater groups throughout the world. <br/><br/>But director Ken Russell notorious for his onscreen excesses abandoned the film's simplicity fashioning a humongous parody of the Busby Berkeley film musicals of the 1930s staged on a scale that made Berkeley seem stylistically modest. Fashion model Twiggy plays Polly Browne an aspiring musical comedy star working as stage manager of a production. She is transformed into a star when she replaces leading lady Rita Monroe Glenda Jackson unbilled who twists her ankle seconds before the curtain goes up. Christopher Gable who plays Polly's on-stage leading man also choreographed the lavish musical numbers. <br/><br/>23 x 33 inches. Faint stains to one edge and a couple of short closed tears.
