[Film scripts] Dashiell Hammett (novel, screenwriter)
Screenplay for The Thin Man Sequel After the Thin Man Original screenplay Hammett's copy with holograph correction
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1935. Dashiell Hammett's original submitted Treatment script for the first sequel to "The Thin Man" here referred to only as "Thin Man Sequel" and ultimately titled "After the Thin Man." With a single manuscript correction by Hammett and letter of provenance from Hammett's daughter Josephine Hammett Marshall regarding the discovery of the treatment in the family's estate. <br /> <br /> The first "Thin Man" film released in 1934 and based on Hammett's novel was a smash hit and is today a key film in the American screwball comedy cycle. Five sequels were made between 1936 and 1947 all starring the original acting team of William Powell and Myrna Loy and this previously unknown attempt at a sequel by Hammett was clearly commissioned by MGM but never produced making this script an entire unpublished Hammett work. The story is a completely original one never reworked for the other films very much written in Hammett's trademark style and reading a bit more like a story treatment i.e. a novel than a final screenplay which is likely as far as the story got on the road to production. <br /> <br /> The piece is dated Sept. 17 1935 at the lower right corner of the front panel along with Hammett's name and Hammett's name is noted in pencil next to the title label though not in Hammett's hand. There is only one single-word correction to the entire text at page 83 in Hammett's hand where the word "compact" is replaced with "cigarette case." <br /> <br /> Accompanying the screenplay is a typed letter signed from Hammett's daughter who edited a recently published collection of Hammett's letters on her personal stationery stating that the screenplay was discovered by Hammett's wife in 1980 and that it had been a part of the family's estate until that time. Probably one of only 2-3 copies that could have been produced and very possibly the only copy extant. To our knowledge no other copy of this story in any form has ever been recorded at auction or sold on the market. <br /> <br /> Light blue titled wrappers with the white MGM studio label present manuscript pencil notation of Hammett's name secretarial rubber-stamped COMPLETE dated September 17 1935 with a single credit for Hammett. 115 leaves mimeograph duplication. Pages and wrapper Very Good plus bound with two gold brads. In a custom clamshell box. <br /> <br /> Full pagination available upon request. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown

Michael Powell (director); Leo Marks (screenwriter)
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. Spicer p. 446. Michael Powell [Theatre] unknown

A Night to Remember Atlantique Latitude 41 Degrees Original French poster from the 1958 British film
London: The Rank Organization 1958. Vintage French theatrical release poster for the seminal 1958 British docudrama "A Night to Remember" here under its French title "Atlantique Latitude 41 Degrees."<br /> <br /> Probably the most distinctive poster produced for the film. Novelist Ambler and director Baker set out to make a film that depicted the sinking of the Titanic as accurately as possible with no added fictional subplots. In addition to being massively entertaining the film is today held in high regard by "Titanic" historians compared to the more melodramatic and big-budget take by James Cameron in 1997. <br /> <br /> Director Baker noted in a 1991 interview "The whole purpose of making the film was to show a society that had persuaded itself that you could make a ship which could never to be sunk."<br /> <br /> 34 x 52 inches on archival linen Fine condition. <br /> <br /> Criterion Collection 7.
