With agency stamps on the verso of five of the photographs and a label with the film's title in French and English affixed to the recto of four photographs at the lower left corner. David Lynch's first feature film. The AFI provided the director with use of their lot where he also lived during much of filming at no charge but he had difficulty getting financial assistance from them on the basis of his 20-page script and decidedly unorthodox methods. Terence Malick screened the film at one point for a financial backer who walked out calling the movie "bullshit." A bad call as the film's wild success on the midnight movie circuit-and subsequent success as a legitimate art film-gained the vocal admiration of everyone from Charles Bukowski to Stanley Kubrick. 12 x 9.5 inches.

Copy belonging to Bruce Willis' stand-in Allen Strange with a detailed and nicely anecdotal typed letter signed providing provenance. With director Shyamalan's initials signing off on the script on the last leaf of the shooting script. <br/><br/>An interesting insight into a quiet auteur film that has become a cult favorite here evidenced as the result of some extreme editing. This early draft shows numerous differences between what Shyamalan shot and what made the finished film. Staneruck notes that "Many of the scenes that were shot which in my opinion were stunningly great were discarded after rewrites and lost in the editing . one incredible sequence that was cut shows . Bruce Willis in the shower naked.slowly overcome by emotion and breaks down crying." Staneruck also describes a very expensive shot of the train crash "which was on a 3 axis gimble with 20 stunt people falling about and dying violently. A Big Bucks scene.

‎La Nostra Vita Comincia di Notte The Subterraneans Original Italian poster for the 1960 film‎

‎Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1960. Vintage Italian Locandina poster for the 1960 US film. From one perspective a fairly one-dimensional representation-perhaps even a caricature-of Beat culture but culturally fascinating in that it was made at the height of the Beat era with A-list talent by a top studio and until Walter Salles' 2012 adaptation of "On the Road" was the only feature-length film ever made from a Kerouac novel. Kerouac was paid $15000 by MGM for the rights to the book and bought his first home with the proceeds on Long Island. A film that rarely screened today and has never been available on any kind of home viewing format. While its perspective on the actual Beat scene may be skewed or wildly misinterpreted it is nonetheless important as an interpretation of Kerouac's world from the outside looking in. Shot on location in San Francisco California. 13 x 27 inches folded. Near Fine with light wrinkling. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown‎
