Kerouac, Jack; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
The Subterraneans - Film Adaptation of Jack Kerouac's Novel. Movie Poster Plus Lobby Cards.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 1960. Undetermined. very good. 81pp. Complete set of eight lobby cards and one sheet. Lobby cards measure 11 X 14 inches. One sheet lithograph measure 27 X 41 inches has minor edge tears and a few holes with professional restoration. Lobby cards have very small amount of colour offsetting mostly to verso else clean and bright. Uncommon to get lobby cards and poster together in reasonable condition. Lobby cards and one sheet made to promote the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's novel. Despite being produced by a major movie studio and starring famous actors Leslie Caron and George Peppard the movie was a financial flop. Allen Ginsberg derided it for its two dimensional characters and shallow portrayal of the beat culture and this can be seen in the subtitles of the lobby cards such as "When the party's over and she's alone the wild Bohemian searches her soul for the answers" and "The new Bohemians took what they liked even if it was another fellow's girl.". 1960 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer unknown

No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 8 x 10"" 20 x 25 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo USA. Greta Garbo Charles Bickford Marie Dressler George F. Marion dir: Clarence Brown MGM. For Garbo's first All-Talking picture film MGM had the world wait more than two years into the sound movie process before allowing her to be heard. They chose Eugene O'Neill's famous play as her vehicle and it was a super hit. This scene still includes Garbo as Anna and veteran actor George F. Marion as her father. Marion adapted the play and wrote the screenplay. Garbo was nominated for the Academy Award as best actress for her very first talkie. This was a stark and minimalist version of the famous play far different from most MGM films of the time. Though the film creaks Garbo's work is still astonishing. At a time when the Academy Awards were still under construction Garbo was actually nominated twice in the same year she received a separate nomination for Romance. Still is coded 456-145. Writing in pencil on verso. Crease at top blank white margin near right side likely form paper clip. Minor edge and corner wear NEAR FINE. unknown books

FAITHLESS 1932
No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. lobby card USA. Tallulah Bankhead Robert Montgomery Hugh Hubert dir: Harry Beaumont; MGM. After a brief stint in silent films the theatre world was charmed by the voice and manner of Tallulah Bankhead; a return to film with talkies however did not bring her any further success. She starred in several soap opera melodramas this one for MGM plush with Deco furnishings and Adrian costumes. Neither MGM nor her character Carol Morgan seemed to be aware there was a depression on as she romped from man to man in this pre-Code melodrama. Today FAITHLESS is a camp classic -- and this rare card represents the playgirl before her walk down the primrose path. Beautiful color highlights this card featuring Hugh Herbert Tallulah and Robert Montgomery. There is a bend at the upper left corner a chip at the lower right corner a tiny tear on the blank white border at the upper right and a neatly mended 1"" 2.5 cm. tear starting at the blank white margin and into the black of the star credit box none of this is very serious and the card looks really nice VERY GOOD. unknown books

No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 13 x 10"" 33 x 25 cm. black-and-white double weight matte print still photo USA. Paul Muni Luise Rainer Walter Connolly Tilly Losch Charley Grapewin Jessie Ralph dir: Sidney Franklin; MGM. Pearl S. Buck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the struggles of Chinese farmers was given a spectacular production by MGM which went on to win several Academy Awards including for Best Actress to Luise Rainer. In production for three years it would be Irving Thalberg's last credited production and would be released after his untimely death. Initially the studio wanted to film on location in China. The repressed Chinese national government at the time wanted this too but insisted on full censorial control which MGM refused. So the Chinese farmland was built on 500 acres in Chatsworth CA which at the time was open space. In still 730-140x we have Luise Rainer and Paul Muni on the location set. Minor handling crease at bottom left corner ABOUT FINE. unknown books

HELP WANTED 1939
No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 27 x 41"" 68 x 102 cm. one sheet poster USA. Tom Neal Jo Ann Sayers Arthur Hohl Truman Bradley Clem Bevans dir: Fred Zinnemann; MGM. MGM had their star-making process well-assembled by 1939 and this applied to directors as well as all other creative jobs at the studio. Up-and-coming directors cut their teeth on the short films which would fill out the bill for an evening in the theatre with newsreels cartoons and the feature. Academy Award-winning director Fred Zinnemann proved himself competent by making a long list of shorts between 1937 and 1942. Amongst the shorts series at MGM were the Crime Does Not Pay-series entries. This story concerned the corruption involved in exploiting unskilled labor. Tom Neal would spend years in shorts and playing supporting roles until 1945 when he landed the lead in the top noir Detour. He is the character at the right on the poster. On linen NEAR FINE. unknown books

HIS LAST LAUGH 1916
No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo USA. Harry McCoy Julia Faye Mary Thurman A. Edward Sutherland Malcolm St. Clair dir: Walter Wright; Keystone Film Company. Very unusual art direction and costuming make this somewhat bizarre still from a Keystone comedy short charming. The film is most likely lost. Interestingly it featured two soon-to-be prominent film directors as actors Malcolm St. Clair as the Butler and A. Edward Sutherland as the Wealthy Maiden's Suitor. The wealthy maiden was played by Mary Thurman and the verso is stamped with her name above the title. She was a Mormon who came to Los Angeles with her family as a teen was discovered by Mack Sennett and became one of his original bathing beauties. Her career is largely forgotten as she died in 1925 at age 30 while filming in Florida. She is at center. Creases at all corners. The top right and bottom left corner are chipped VERY GOOD-FINE. unknown books

Jean Harlow William Powell Myrna Loy Spencer Tracy Walter Connolly Charley Grapewin dir: Jack Conway; MGM. One of the finest screwball comedies of the 1930s.

LOLITA 1962 One sheet poster
No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 41 x 27"" 102 x 68 cm. one sheet poster USA. James Mason Shelley Winters Sue Lyon Peter Sellers Lois Maxwell dir: Stanley Kubrick; MGM. One of the most iconic movie posters of all-time. Very controversial was the novel by Vladimir Nabokov who did the adapted screenplay about a 40-something French literature professor and his obsession for the 12-year-old daughter of his landlady. Very controversial to this day is the film. The censors were after the script from day one and Lolita's age had to be raised to 14. In the end Kubrick un-credited actually wrote much of the script as presented on screen. Nevertheless it was Nabokov who received the Academy Award nomination for Best Writing - Screenplay based on material from another medium. This famous image of Sue Lyon as Lolita wearing the heart-shaped sunglasses is a portrait by Bert Stern. The image was used for publicity only; cat-eyed sunglasses were used in the film. Amongs those considered for and offered the role of Humbert were Marlon Brando David Niven Cary Grant and Errol Flynn who passed before production started. Amongs the other Lolita potentials were Joey Heatherton and Haley Mills; in both cases their well-known fathers vetoed the casting! Peter Sellers based his peculiar voice on that of Stanley Kubrick. Poster is folded and appears to be unused. There is only the minutest of edge and fold wear FINE. unknown books
