Bright Road Set of 4 lobby cards for the 1953 film
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1953. Set of 4 original lobby cards for the 1953 film "Bright Road" based on the Christopher Award winning story "See How They Run" written by Mary Elizabeth Vroman and first published in 1951 in the Ladies' Home Journal. <br/><br/>Notable for its nearly all-black cast "Bright Road" stars Dorothy Dandridge as an Alabama schoolteacher intent on motivating one of her more lackluster students. Dandridge is said to have accepted the role because of the film's lack of racial tension as a central theme. As a result she hoped that young women of all colors could identify with her character. Harry Belafonte's debut feature film. <br/><br/>14 x 11 inches. Both lobby cards quite clean with no pinholes about Near Fine. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown books

Paris nous appartient Paris Belongs to Us Original French moyenne poster for the 1961 film
Paris: Ajym Films 1961. Original French moyenne poster affiche for the 1961 French film. Winner of the 1962 Sutherland Trophy for best first or second feature by the British Film Institute. Scarce with only two copies found in Cine-ressources. <br/><br/>A labor of love released after numerous financial woes and a three-year production schedule "Paris Belongs to Us" did not cause the same stir as did the debuts of Rivette's "Cahiers du Cinema" peers though today it is seen as a film with an importance on the same level as the first works of Truffaut Godard and Chabrol. <br/><br/>Rivette retained his post at the journal throughout the 1960s even serving as editor from 1963 to 1965 as the French New Wave was in full swing. It wasn't until the start of the 1970s that Rivette's filmmaking career took off but the sensibilities and aesthetic values behind beloved masterpieces such as "Celine and Julie Go Boating" and "La belle noiseuse" are well on display in an exceptional first effort. <br/><br/>Rivette's career is generally defined by his adherence to long-form storytelling and a sense of structural reflexivity. This first feature serves as a perfect preamble to the epics that followed offering early insight into his sense for both larger scope and narrative complexity. At a confident 140 minutes the runtime of "Paris Belongs to Us" is roughly 40 minutes longer than any other first feature of the French New Wave though it pales in comparison to his later work particularly the twelve-hour "Out 1". Further with its focus on a theatrical Shakespeare production Rivette uses film to comment on its relationship to the stage a theme he would address in future films. <br/><br/>Set and shot in the streets and apartments of Paris. <br/><br/>23 x 31.5 inches folded as issued. Small exhibitor or distributor stamp to recto and verso. About Near Fine with small clean staple holes at corners and vertical fold very minor fold separation at edges and center. A wonderful of example of an unrestored and scarce poster for a landmark debut feature. <br/><br/>BFI 656. Ajym Films unknown books

Pretty Maids All in a Row Collection of three original photographs from the 1971 film
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1971. Collection of three vintage black-and-white studio still photographs from the 1971 film. <br/><br/>Roger Vadim's followup to "Barbarella" 1956 may be the only sexploitation crime film ever released by a major studio and managed to break just about every cultural taboo in the book even during the uncertain days of the early 1970s. The story and especially the filmmaking style is a strange response to the sexual revolution in 1970 in which a high school full of randy teachers and students in an unnamed Midwestern town become involved in a series of murders. Vadim's attempt to update .".And God Created Woman" from the male perspective has become a cult film that would be sued out of existence today and a fascinating look at the "revolution" from a middle America perspective. <br/><br/>Based on Francis Pollini's 1968 novel. Ocean View High School's resident faculty hero football coach/guidance counselor "Tiger" McDrew Hudson at his greasiest is married and has a child but this doesn't keep him from seducing many of his female students and persuading the new substitute teacher Miss Smith Dickinson to deflower a troubled virgin. Girls start turning up at the school dead in various states of undress with cryptic notes pinned to intimate parts of their anatomy. The county sheriff Keenan Wynn is forced to defer to a state police investigator Savalas who starts nosing around the school. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.
