Michael Powell director; Emeric Pressburger screenwriter; David Niven Kim Hunter Richard Attenborough Roger Livesey Raymond
A Matter of Life and Death Original UK Film Program signed by Michael Powell
London: The Archers / Eagle-Lion 1946. Original UK Program for the 1946 film released in the US as "Stairway to Heaven." SIGNED by director Michael Powell on page 12 just above the photo next to his biographical sketch. <br/><br/>While it is certainly arguable that the greatest Powell-Pressburger film is a 10-way tie for first place "A Matter of Life and Death" is probably the most philosophically ambitious of their masterpieces. David Niven is a British wartime aviator who unwittingly cheats death and must ultimately argue for his continued existence before a celestial court. In between these two events is a wildly imaginative and surreal tale told first in Technicolor on earth then in Dye-Monochrome black-and-white in heaven. <br/><br/>This oversize program book evokes the spirit of the film beautifully with clever use of two-color processes mostly pink and blue throughout. Includes biographies and large photos of the principal actors reviews an essay about the techniques used to shoot the film and credits for the cast and crew. The credits and promotion are specific to the UK rather than international or US distribution of the film through Eagle-Lion and General Distributors. <br/><br/>Self-wrappers 14.5 x 11.5 inches saddle-stapled. Very Good plus condition with fine shallow creasing at the wrapper extremities. The Archers / Eagle-Lion unknown books

INSCRIBED on the title page by director and producer Norman Jewison: "To - / With regards / Norman Jewison." Written for the screen by Alan R. Trustman and starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. <br/><br/>At or near the top of a distinguished and polished pile of heist films from the late 1960s that combined humor style and suspense and the film that was the first to employ split-screen imagery a technique devised by the film's editor Hal Ashby who would soon become a prominent director. This particular heist film is of the variety where the heist is loaded up front with the majority of the film devoted to its aftermath. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Song "The Windmills of Your Mind" by composer Michel Legrand Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman and nominated for Best Original Score. <br/><br/>Yellow wrappers with no titles on the front wrapper.

Universal City CA: Republic Pictures / Pax Films / Universal Pictures 1961. Forrest J. Ackerman's copy of scripts from two key science fiction films bound together including original front wrappers in red buckram with Ackerman's name in gilt at the bottom right corner of the front board. <br/><br/>"The Lady and the Monster": Shooting script for the 1944 film. The first of three adaptations of Curt Siodmak's classic 1942 novel in which an honest hard-working scientist preserves a dead man's brain only to be remote-controlled by it. Shot by the legendary John Alton at the very peak of his work in the mid-1940s. Yellow front studio wrapper noted as SHOOTING SCRIPT at the top right dated October 13 1943 a penciled notation of the working title "The Lady and the Monster" just below the printed title noted as production No. 1194 and with credits for associate producer George Sherman and Republic Studios at the bottom.

Guest ultimately directed the story as a feature-length movie for Pax one of the most understated and intelligent science fiction films ever made. Light green wrappers both front and rear wrappers present. The front wrapper reads: "A Five Part Serialisation of / THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE / A Val Guest Production." Just below in holograph ink and in what we would assume is Guest's hand is written "Dedicated to Brian Aldiss." We think it likely that the script was gifted to the very connected Ackerman by Guest though the provenance beyond Ackerman's ownership is unknown. <br/><br/>41 pages divided into five parts each beginning with a two-color memo on PAX stationery describing what will happen in the following section. Pages and wrapper about Near Fine. <br/><br/>Buckram binding containing the two scripts is Very Good with some light scuffing and soil. <br/><br/>Martin 413.
