Hellman Lillian screenwriter
Original Pictorial One Sheet for: ARMORED ATTACK formerly THE NORTH STAR
N.p.: NTA Pictures 1957. Vintage color one sheet 27 x 41" - 68 x 102 cm. Folded as issued with a minute break at intersection of two folds discreet marginal staple holes identifying stamps else about fine. A one sheet promoting the 1957 substantially reedited rerelease of the film originally distributed in 1943 as THE NORTH STAR. In its original form the film was one of several projects undertaken by Hollywood at the behest of the U.S. government in order to clarify the occasionally confusing state of Soviet/U.S. relations brought on by the war alliance and to promote a sympathetic understanding of the plight of the common Russian peoples in the face of the Nazi invasion. Samuel Goldwyn enlisted Lewis Milestone All Quiet on the Western Front as director Lillian Hellman as screenwriter and Aaron Copland and Ira Gershwin as composers of the score. The cast included Anne Baxter Dana Andrews Walter Huston Farley Granger and Erich von Stroheim. Margaret Bourke-White recently returned from her coverage of the Eastern Front was hired as still-photographer a role which was quite atypical for her. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards in 1944 but in 1947 it was deemed subversive by the House Committee on Un-American Activities HUAC. Eventually a decade later it was recut - at the cost of some 28 minutes of running time - and distributed in this form to suit the revisionist temper of the times accentuating the battles with the Nazis and diminishing considerably the role of the Soviets and any sympathy for them. Of course credit to Lillian Hellman appears nowhere on this poster. A relic of an ignoble chapter in film history. NTA Pictures unknown books

A dramatic color lithographed one sheet promoting the fourth film adaptation of London's novel based on a screenplay by master screenwriter/director Robert Rossen directed by Michael Curitz and starring Edward G. Robinson Ida Lupino John Garfield and Barry Fitzgerald et al. London's novel had been filmed three previous times: silent versions in 1913 and 1920 and a sound version in 1930.
