‎Bolero Original screenplay for the 1934 film‎

‎Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1933. Final Script for the 1934 pre-Code film musical "Bolero" directed by Wesley Ruggles written for the screen by Horace Jackson Kubec Glasmon Carey Wilson and Ruth Ridenour and starring George Raft and Carole Lombard. <br/><br/>A stylish Paramount musical that unlike so many others from its time came with a great storyline. George Raft rises from coal mine laborer to be a top dancer in pre-Great War Europe. While weaving his way through romantic entanglements including a fling with Sally Rand who performs her famous fan dance here he secures his own nightclub at which point he meets the real love of his life Carole Lombard after asking her to audition in her underwear in his hotel room. A pre-Code gem that seems almost to have been designed to push the censors buttons simultaneously one of the raciest and moodiest "A" musicals produced by this studio. <br/><br/>Tall self-wrappers as issued stamped FILE COPY and RETURN TO SCRIPT DEPT. / PARAMOUNT PICTURES INC. on the front wrapper rubber-stamped production No. 171 and dated November 8 1933.

‎No Man of Her Own Original screenplay for the 1932 film‎

‎Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1932. First Draft script for the 1932 pre-Code film though it is what would later be known as a revised shooting script as it was a rewrite issued during shooting. <br/><br/>AFI Catalog provides some context around the October 20 1932 date on the script revealing a somewhat troubled production that resulted in a fine film: "On 23 Sep 1932 HR announced that the script was being rewritten. According to a HR news item on 4 Oct 1932 Lowell Sherman walked off the set after a pay dispute and was replaced by Wesley Ruggles. Hopkins quit the production in early Nov 1932 claiming the role was not suitable for her. Gable was on loan from M-G-M for this film. Gable and Lombard were married in 1939. This was their only co-starring film."<br/> <br/>Based on the best selling novel "No Bed of Her Own" by Val Lewton. Gable plays a card cheat who has to go on the lam to avoid a pesky cop. While hiding out he meets lonely but somewhat wild librarian Lombard. The two get married after Lombard wins a coin flip and they move back to the city where Gable continues his grifting ways unbeknownst to his new wife. <br/><br/>Salmon self wrappers rubber-stamped copy No. 1278 and MASTER FILE dated October 20 1932 with credits for story writers Goulding and Glazer screenwriter Watkins and continuity writer Anges Brand Leahy.

‎The Immoral Mr. Teas Two original pressbooks for the 1961 re-releases of the 1959 film‎

‎Los Angeles: Pad-Ram Enterprises 1961. Original pressbooks two variants for 1961 re-releases of the 1959 film. Featured are the two most commonly seen layouts used for publicity: the full-color illustrated "hat" variant and the other with Mr. Teas surrounded by a bevy of well-developed women the female leads of the film from left to right: Ann Peters Michele Roberts Dawn Danielle and Marilyn Wesley. <br/><br/>The story finds the shy Mr. Teas played by William Ellis Teas a door-to-door dental appliance salesman who has a chemical reaction with an anesthetic that allows him to have X-ray vision as in "seeing through women's clothes." He also overcomes all of his inhibitions leading to ribald encounters with his dental nurse his therapist his secretary a girl in a bar etc. <br/><br/>Russ Meyer's first feature produced by Pad-Ram Enterprises a monogram using the initials of director Russell Albion Meyer and producer Peter A. DeCenzie and the film that basically launched the lighthearted "nudie" pictures of the early 1960s. The film was immediately touted as "ribald" and "Frenchy" with regard to the "genuinely sexy sequences with generous expanses of attractive flesh" that used to be seen strictly in foreign films. At a time when Hollywood moguls were losing audiences to the comfort of in-home cinema through television Meyer and DeCenzie who spent years on the burlesque and night club circuits released an independent naturally sexy endeavor in the tradition of the great Chaplin films. The bigger productions companies would never have made a film as far overboard on sex. <br/><br/>For his debut Russ Meyer did even more of the crew work than usual shooting in four days during the spring of 1958 with a budget of $24000 ultimately making over $1.5 million worldwide. The film was marketed as a "nudist" film with a "French" sensibility but exhibited all the distinctive traits for which Meyer would soon become known including large bosoms insane plots a somewhat feminist perspective campy dialogue and guerilla cinematography. <br/><br/>Shot on location in various California destinations including Malibu Lagoon State Beach. Meyer even shot various scenes at his beach-front home in Los Angeles. <br/><br/>Both pressbooks 11 x 17 inches folded horizontally. "Hat" variant includes a 9 x 12 ad mat dated "Fri. Aug. 18 1961." Light rubbing overall rubber stamps from "Sack Amusement Enterprises" in Dallas Texas and a few light creases and tiny closed tears else Near Fine. Pad-Ram Enterprises unknown books‎
