Original one sheet poster for the 1976 Blaxploitation film "The Monkey Hustle."<br /> <br /> A classic entry in the action comedy subset of Blaxploitation films in which a neighborhood must band together in order to prevent the city from demolishing their homes to build a highway. Set in Chicago and shot there on location. <br /> <br /> Largely low-budget and geared towards a young urban audience Blaxploitation films often depicted African Americans overcoming hostile authorities through cunning and violence as well as conflicts internal to the culture. Though some of the first mainstream films to feature predominantly black casts and introduce previously non-represented elements of black culture including the notable use of funk and soul music in soundtracks they were also panned for furthering stereotypes about black people. Despite the controversy that the genre instilled its motifs remain culturally relevant to this day often parodied acknowledged and imitated in modern films and music. <br /> <br /> 27 x 41 inches folded. Near Fine. <br /> <br /> Parish and Hill 149. Howard Blaxploitation Cinema p. 43-44 174-175. American International Pictures [AIP] unknown

THX-1138 Original oversize double weight candid photograph from the 1971 film
Burbank CA: American Zoetrope / Warner Brothers 1971. Vintage black-and-white oversize double weight still photograph from the 1971 film. Shown are George Lucas and an assistant setting up a shot of Robert DuVall with Lucas placing calipers on DuVall's head. With the Warner Brothers studio stamp on the verso along with a notation regarding the shot and its reference number. <br /> <br /> Given everything that would follow "THX-1138" could easily be described as the most successful student film of all time developed by Lucas in 1967 as a short called "Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB" while he was attending the University of Southern California's film school. The feature film version was one of the first efforts produced under the auspices of Lucas' friend Francis Ford Coppola. <br /> <br /> Written by Lucas and Walter Murch the film set a standard for dystopian stories that would inform dozens of films in its wake. Oddly Lucas did not continue down the pessimistic path choosing instead to engage in the broader appeal of "Star Wars."<br /> <br /> 14 x 10.25 inches. Near Fine.
