1959rif. 134256Los 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." 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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

1983rif. 5047London United Kingdom: Macmillan London Limited 1983. hardcover. Very Good. N/A. Publication: London Macmillan London Limited 1983 Formatting: 8vo pp. vi 215. Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains firm and mechanically sound exhibiting no signs of lean or separation ensuring a tight text block. The edges display the mild even age-toning typical of this specific paper stock from the early 1980s but the interior remains entirely clean bright and free of foxing. The dust wrapper currently preserved in a protective mylar sleeve is highly presentable; it remains vibrant with only minimal shelf-wear and light rubbing to the extremities avoiding the fading often seen on the spine of this title. Catalogue Note: This is a highly sought-after true first edition first printing of Mary Wesley's celebrated debut novel. Notably this true first edition hardcover variant features the correct black and green cover design beneath the dust wrapper. Published when the author was seventy years old this debut printing was produced in relatively modest numbers before her subsequent literary success drove higher print runs. Consequently securing this edition in such presentable well-preserved condition with its original bright dust wrapper has become increasingly difficult on the open market. Jumping the Queue introduces readers to Matilda Poliport a recently widowed woman who having meticulously planned her own tidy demise finds her fatal arrangements entirely upended by a chance encounter with a younger man on the run from the police. With her signature piercing observation and dark irreverent wit Mary Wesley crafts a profound and darkly comedic exploration of grief defiance and the utterly unpredictable nature of human connection.
