M Original Austrian Film Program
Vienna: Illustrierter Film-Kurier 1931. Vintage Austrian program for the 1931 German film. Lang's first sound film Peter Lorre's breakthrough role and the film Lang considered to be his masterpiece—an assertion that has found much agreement since. The only second piece of ephemera from the film we have ever offered. Text in German. <br /> <br /> Issue No. 262 of "Illustrierter Film-Kurier" one of the oldest European film magazines which ran weekly from 1929 to 1956. Like its German counterpart "Film-Kurier" each issue focused on a single film and used a gravure process to reproduce images from the film making for striking images and design. <br /> <br /> 6 x 9 inches. Six pages saddle stapled. Ink annotations throughout seemingly regarding layout affecting a bit of text but no images. Very Good plus with a faint horizontal crease and light toning to the wrappers. <br /> <br /> Criterion Collection 30. Grant Germany. Godard Histoires de cinema. Ebert I. Eureka Masters of Cinema 9. Rosebaum 1000. Illustrierter Film-Kurier unknown

Archive of production photographs and ephemera from "2001: A Space Odyssey" from the collection of scientific advisor Frederick I. Ordway III
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1968. Archive including 20 vintage linen-backed production photographs a trade advertisement a film program and a souvenir booklet from the 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey." From the collection of NASA scientific consultant Frederick I. Ordway III with images prominently featuring Ordway production designer Harry Lange Arthur C. Clarke Stanley Kubrick and others. One photograph has Ordway's name written on the recto in silver marker. All photographs mounted on matte board as issued. <br /> <br /> Ordway and Clarke began working together on matters of science fact in 1951 and Clarke personally invited him to be the factual advisor on the film. <br /> <br /> Kubrick's sprawling science fiction epic traces the evolution of human intelligence under the influence of an unspecified alien force. Along with "Blade Runner" Kubrick's masterpiece forever altered the standard for visual and conceptual sophistication in science fiction and genre films. The pre-production for the film set standards as well as Kubrick hired one of the greatest science fiction authors of the 1960s Arthur C. Clarke to be his screenwriter and hired over 20 scientists like Ordway to consult on every detail of the film. The film's high degree of scientific accuracy coupled with bleeding-edge special effects and minimal use of dialogue make "2001" universally recognized as one of the most influential films ever made. The development of the film was kept strictly under wraps and behind-the-scenes material of any kind is rare. <br /> <br /> Winner of an Academy Award for Best Special Effects and nominated for three others including Best Director. Set in space shot on location in Scotland England Arizona and Utah. <br /> <br /> Photographs 8 x 10 inches mounted on 11 x 14 inch matte board. Trade advertisement 9 x 12 inches full-color creased. Souvenir booklet 7.25 x 16 inches full-color 12 leaves saddle stapled folded. Program 5.5 x 8.5 inches black and white saddle stapled single leaf. Very Good to Near Fine.
