Cherry Harry and Raquel Original French poster for the 1970 film
France: Eve Productions 1989. Original French grande poster for the 1989 release of the 1970 US film. Scarce. <br/><br/>A small-town border sheriff and marijuana smuggler sets out to kill a rival drug dealer while his girlfriend has a dalliance with another woman. The first Meyer film to feature full frontal male nudity a rarity even in sexploitation films at the time and quite the introduction to soon-to-be Meyer's regular Charles Napier. <br/><br/>Meyer shot several new sequences late in production about a quarter of the film's runtime either to replace footage lost by a photo lab or because an actress left the shoot early the reason is disputed. The new sequences unrelated to the original ones give the film an almost surreal quality leading Roger Ebert to call it "possibly the only narrative film ever made without a narrative."<br/><br/>The film was one of the most successful of Meyer's career leading him to return to and refine this style in subsequent films peaking with Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens in 1979.<br/><br/>47 x 63 inches folded as issued. Near Fine. Eve Productions unknown books

Vixen Two original photographs from the 1968 film

Seen in the stills is Erica Gavin Vixen and Jon Evans Judd and a split image with Erica Gavin and Harrison Page Niles the duo responsible for the film's thick racial tensions. <br/><br/>"Vixen!" was one of Meyer's best sleaziest and most commercially successful films made at the peak of his independent productions after "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" in 1965 and before "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" in 1970. What is less well known is that this film by way of Ms. Gavin marked a breakthrough in the onscreen portrayal of women in terms of sexual aggression using the then-new platform of late 1960s American independent cinema and the aftermath of the Summer of Love as a canvas. <br/><br/>Gavin's titular character is a married woman whose sexual boundaries are none but instead of being a typical sex romp the film heads off into areas that can be reasonably described as unexplored by sexploitation films including communism race relations political debate and terrorist activity. But also present in the film are many of the genre's more familiar themes breast size incest nonstop sexual activity and a generous dose of humor. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. One still with a faint tape ghost and two short tears else Near Fine overall. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request. Eve Productions unknown books

Three photos from Olympia Schonheit im Olympischen Kampf Three original photographs from the 1938 documentary
New York: Excelsior Pictures 1938. Three vintage black and white second generation photographs from the groundbreaking 1938 film documenting the 1936 Summer Olympipcs held in Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Released in two parts "Olympia: Festival of Nations" and "Olympia: Festival of Beauty." From the archive of Maurice Bessy with his rubber stamp and light holograph annotations on the verso. <br/><br/>Based on Riefenstahl's photobook from the previous year "Schonheit im Olympischen Kampf." A rare example where a photobook and a film are equally important as both works of art and a historical document. Riefenstahl made the book and the film as propaganda for Hitler and spent a lifetime trying to live down her devotion to him but this work in particular is so powerful as to stand apart from the reasons for which it was made. Easily the most visceral and important document of The Olympics and the spirit of human physical achievement ever produced. <br/><br/>Variously sized between 3.5 x 7 inches and 5 x 6 inches.
