Peeping Tom Original British Advance Poster for the 1960 film
London: Michael Powell Theatre 1960. Vintage British Advance Poster for the classic 1960 film. The British Double Crown poster for the film turns up from time to time but this Advance issue which does not state the film's title is a rarity. <br /> <br /> Noted director Powell's most controversial film about a serial killer who films his female victims as they are dying. Reviled by critics on its release and today considered a masterpiece it is the second of three feature films director made after parting ways with his longtime filmmaking partner Emeric Pressburger. Ostensibly a film about a killer with serious Freudian issues but later reassessed as much more conceptual and complex. Roger Ebert pointed out famously in his 1999 review of the film that the audience is implicated as much as the killer."Movies make us into voyeurs. We sit in the dark watching other people's lives. It is the bargain the cinema strikes with us although most films are too well-behaved to mention it."<br /> <br /> Martin Scorsese is probably the most famous fan of the film and takes Ebert's argument further saying "I have always felt that "Peeping Tom" and "8 " say everything that can be said about filmmaking about the process of dealing with film the objectivity and subjectivity of it and the confusion between the two. "8 " captures the glamour and enjoyment of film-making while "Peeping Tom" shows the aggression of it how the camera violates. From studying them you can discover everything about people who make films or at least people who express themselves through films."<br /> <br /> 30 x 20 inches. About Near Fine on archival linen with some expert restoration at the top edge and folds. Archivally framed with an acid-free mat and UV plexi. <br /> <br /> Criterion Collection 58. Grant p. 495.

A Matter of Life and Death Original UK Film Program signed by Michael Powell
London: The Archers / Eagle-Lion 1946. Original UK Program for the 1946 film released in the US as "Stairway to Heaven." SIGNED by director Michael Powell on page 12 just above the photo next to his biographical sketch. <br/><br/>While it is certainly arguable that the greatest Powell-Pressburger film is a 10-way tie for first place "A Matter of Life and Death" is probably the most philosophically ambitious of their masterpieces. David Niven is a British wartime aviator who unwittingly cheats death and must ultimately argue for his continued existence before a celestial court. In between these two events is a wildly imaginative and surreal tale told first in Technicolor on earth then in Dye-Monochrome black-and-white in heaven. <br/><br/>This oversize program book evokes the spirit of the film beautifully with clever use of two-color processes mostly pink and blue throughout. Includes biographies and large photos of the principal actors reviews an essay about the techniques used to shoot the film and credits for the cast and crew. The credits and promotion are specific to the UK rather than international or US distribution of the film through Eagle-Lion and General Distributors. <br/><br/>Self-wrappers 14.5 x 11.5 inches saddle-stapled. Very Good plus condition with fine shallow creasing at the wrapper extremities. The Archers / Eagle-Lion unknown books
