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.

The Immoral Mr. Teas Mr. Teas and His Playthings Eight original still photographs from the 1959 film
Los Angeles: Pad-Ram Enterprises 1959. A Eight vintage still photographs from the 1959 film. Included are 4 stills from the US release and 4 stills from the UK release under the title "Mr. Teas and His Playthings." From a cursory glance one can immediately see the differences with regard to nudity paid by both US and UK publicists the UK stills decidedly more liberal with regard to the "forbidden flesh."<br /> <br /> The US stills were taken directly from scenes of the film and the UK stills appear to be from either a deleted scene or a mock setup designed for foreign publicity with Mr. Teas seen in a bathhouse with the "Buxom Bath House Beauties" Baby Dahl Chicky Fricase Frenchie Tost Teri Clawthe that were not seen in the final cut. The UK stills purport "Monstrous Murder!" and "Sizzling Suspense!" taglines however the final cut features neither murder nor suspense. <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 /> All stills 8 x 10 inches some differ slightly in size. Two US stills Very Good plus others Near Fine. UK stills Near Fine. Pad-Ram Enterprises unknown
