Cabaret is a 1972 American musical period drama film directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse from a screenplay by Jay Presson Allen based on the 1966 stage musical by John Kander Fred Ebb and Joe Masteroff which in turn was based on the 1951 play I Am a Camera by John Van Druten and the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood. It stars Liza Minnelli Michael York Helmut Griem Marisa Berenson and Joel Grey. Multiple numbers from the stage score were used for the film which also featured three other songs by Kander and Ebb including two written for the adaptation. In the film the musical numbers are almost entirely take place inside the club with the exception of "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" which is not performed in the club or by the club characters but is a nationalistic song sung by a Nazi youth and the German crowd. The film received critical acclaim. It won Best Picture citations from the National Board of Review and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and took Best Supporting Actor honors for Grey from the National Board of Review the Hollywood Foreign Press and the National Society of Film Critics.

In 1995 Cabaret was the twelfth live-action musical film selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally historically or aesthetically significant". A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film primarily to persuade paying customers into a theater to see it. Studios often print several posters that vary in size and content for various domestic and international markets. They normally contain an image with text. Today's posters often feature printed likenesses of the main actors. Prior to the 1980s illustrations instead of photos were far more common. The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tagline the name of the director names of characters the release date and other pertinent details to inform prospective viewers about the film. Film posters are often displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters and elsewhere on the street or in shops. The same images appear in the film exhibitor's pressbook and may also be used on websites DVD and historically VHS packaging flyers advertisements in newspapers and magazines and all other press related to the promotion of the film. Film posters have been used since the earliest public exhibitions of film. They began as outside placards listing the programme of short films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater. By the early 1900s they began to feature illustrations of a film scene or an array of overlaid images from several scenes. Other posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film represented in a wide variety of artistic styles. The first poster for a specific film rather than a "magic lantern show" was based on an illustration by Marcellin Auzolle to promote the showing of the Lumiere Brothers film L'Arroseur arrosé at the Grand Café in Paris on December 26 1895. Originally film posters were produced for the exclusive use by the theaters exhibiting the film the poster was created for and were required to be returned to the distributor after the film left the theater. In the United States film posters were usually returned to a nationwide operation called the National Screen Service NSS which printed and distributed most of the film posters for the studios between 1940 and 1984. As an economy measure the NSS regularly recycled posters that were returned sending them back out to be used again at another theater. During this time a film could stay in circulation for several years and so many old film posters were badly worn before being retired into storage at an NSS warehouse most often they were thrown away when they were no longer needed or had become too worn to be used again. Those posters which were not returned were often thrown away by the theater owner or damaged by being outside. Film posters have become increasingly coveted by art collectors in recent years due to their known relative rarity condition artist and art historical significance. Allied Artists Corp unknown

Very minor toning to the edges of some of the specimens. A few specimens have tears albeit minor. A near fine set of this scarce production. The specimens included are: Baskerville Garamond Grayda & Barnum Caslon Old-Fashioned Types Futura The "Lost" Goudy Types Square-Serif Types Bodoni Cloister Black Lutetia Weiss Calligraphy Cheltenham Lydian Centaur Perpetua Goudy Old Style Bulmer Types Cast by Binny & Ronaldson Bernhard Modern Janson Fairfield and finally Alternate Gothic and Franklin Gothic. Also included is the 1989 New series No. 1 Let's Talk Type periodical produced by Mac McGrew. In it McGrew gives more information on this project by Eastern Corporation. The text is below: "In March 1947 Eastern Corporation manufacture of Atlantic Bond and other printing papers began publication of a series of typographic broadsides which have become collectors' items. Each month a new broadside featured a different typeface or family of faces and each was created by a different well known designer. The broadsides were 17x22 inches printed on one side and folded twice. Each was accompanied by an 8 1/2x11-inch card identifying the designer and telling something about him and the featured typeface and serving as a stiffener. A few of the broadsides were lithographed but most were printed letterpress usually in two colors. They were not numbered or dated; our numbers are only to indicate sequence. The dates in our list are of The Inland Printer containing a related ad announcing the broadside. The magazines normally were delivered early in the month of date and presumably the broadsides were mailed out about the same time. The printshop in which I was working at the time had the order to print the first of these sheets. As assistant production manager I handled some of the routine details but had no part in the actual production. As I recall locked-up forms were received from the typesetter; these may have been relocked to go on our flat bed presses. A number of press proofs were pulled in advance on another brand of paper while awaiting Eastern's shipment of Atlantic Bond. Of course I appreciated this as an interesting job at the time but didn't anticipate the variety of sheets to follow or their lasting value. Some time later a few of the sheets were reprinted. A new sheet on Times Roman was planned and perhaps other faces but I have found no evidence of its production. At this time I offered a layout titled The Family of Basic American Gothics. Eastern was interested but before arrangements could be completed a new advertising manager took over and the project was dropped. I later reworked my layout for another Pittsburgh typographer."

Original gray printed wrappers chipped more prominent at the foot of spine; stains on front cover and first 18 pages - SEE IMAGES. A sound copy suitable for exhibition and study. NOW VERY LITTLE KNOWN THIS SCARCE AND GIGANTIC AMERICAN BOOK CATALOGUE WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES FOR A NOTORIOUS AND LITIGIOUS PYRAMID SCHEME WHICH HAS SOME SEMBLANCE TO TODAY'S SUBSCRIPTION BOOK CLUBS. The perpetrator was a shadowy figure name George W. Borland 1851 or 1852-1931 of Chicago; according to legal records he was frequently sued and lost; after filing for bankruptcy he simply reformed his companies under different names. Borland claimed that his subscription services eliminated the middlemen and as the present amazing "stock catalogue" shows his firm offered to members desirable books published by Harper Brothers Appleton Scribner's Houghton Mifflin Lippincott and many others at slashed prices. In order to achieve such savings his National Library Association continually recruited new members who had to pay the so-called "subscription fee" and were enticed with discounts and prizes to recruit friends families schools libraries church congregations etc. Apparently Borland and his cohorts were complete scam artists; in the year 1884 alone Borland et al. were the subjects of major lawsuits the judgments of which resulted in massive losses approximately $100000 = $3.5 million today. Consequently these crooks simply reformed under another name and relaunched their enterprise. Contemporary newspaper and legal records show that Borland continued to lose cases from creditors such as Bradner Smith & Co. in 1891 -- the year in which the present catalogue was issued -- the judgment was $1491. In 1896 after the name was changed to National Merchants' Supply Co. he was forced into bankruptcy following by a lawsuit from Felix Marston & Co. Sidney Huttner in his innovative "Lucile Project" describes some of the consequences of Borland's dubious activities including his involvement with the National Library Association. In its hall-of-shame "Trade Embarrassements" column in Bradstreet's Weekly: A Business Digest vol. 10 July 5 1884 p. 13 Borland's name appears not once but three times: 1. G.W. Borland & Co. book publishers assigned to W. N. Lee having previously confessed five judgments for $40439. 2. Chicago Installment Book Co. and George W. Borland & Co. the proprietors of it closed by sheriff on confessed judgments for $40690 and both assigned to W. N. Lee. 3. Fairbanks Palmer & Co. publishers closed by sheriff. It is said they held papers of G. W. Borland for $40200. The catalogue also provides an excellent well-illustrated guide to the myriad of works available for the literate public during the 1890s including -- but certainly not limited to -- Atlases and Maps Historical Works Art and Art History Juvenile Works Architectural Books Law Books Agriculture and Floriculture Medical Books Photograph Albums Mechanical Books Biography Music and Music Books Books On The Civil War Bibles Building Industrial Arts Poetry Political Economy Government Book Binding Prayer Books and Hymnals "Cheap Books" Religious and Theological Books Cookbooks Housekeeping Shakespeare Fiction Self-Improvement Dictionaries Sports Games and Amusements Essays and General Literature Science and Philosophy Textbooks Testimonials Foreign Books and Periodicals Travel Discovery and Adventure Temperance Books Works of Reference Gift Books Wit And Humor Writing Paper Tablets etc. We have been unable to locate any useful information about Mr. Borland; even a cursory bio-bibliographical exposé of his antics is merited. Our copy like all others has the date altered in type: 1891 with the latter two digits printed in a slightly different font.

A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film. Studios often print several posters that vary in size and content. They normally contain an image with text. Prior to the 1980s illustrations instead of photos were far more common. The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. Film posters are displayed inside and on the outside of theaters. Film posters have been used since the earliest exhibitions of film. They began as placards listing the program of films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater. By the early 1900s they began to feature illustrations of a film scene or an array of overlaid images from several scenes. Other posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film. Film posters have become increasingly coveted by art collectors in recent years due to their known relative rarity condition artist and art historical significance. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 musical comedy horror film by 20th Century Fox produced by Lou Alder and Michael White and directed by Jim Shaman. The screenplay was written by Shaman and actor Richard O'Brien who is also a member of the cast. The film is based on the 1973 musical stage production The Rocky Horror Show with music book and lyrics by O'Brien. The production is a tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through to the early 1960s. Along with O'Brien the film stars Tim Curry Susan Saran don and Barry Bostwick and is narrated by Charles Gray with cast members from the original Royal Court Theater Roy Theater and Bales Theater productions including Nell Campbell and Patricia Quinine. The story centers on a young engaged couple whose car breaks down in the rain near a castle where they seek a telephone to call for help. The castle or country home is occupied by strangers in elaborate costumes celebrating an annual convention. They discover the head of the house is Dr. Frank N. Further an apparently mad scientist who actually is an alien transvestite from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania who creates a living muscle man named Rocky in his laboratory. The film was shot in the United Kingdom at Bray Studios and on location at an old country estate named Okay Court best known for its earlier use by Hammer Film Productions. A number of props and set pieces were reused from the Hammer horror films. Although the film is both a parody of and tribute to many kitsch science fiction and horror films costume designer Sue Blaine conducted no research for her designs. Blaine has claimed that her creations for the film directly affected the development of punk rock fashion trends such as torn fishnet stockings and colorfully dyed hair. Initial reception was extremely negative but it soon became a hit as a midnight movie when audiences began participating with the film at the Wavily Theater in New York City in 1976. Audience members returned to the cinemas frequently and talked back to the screen and began dressing as the characters spawning similar performance groups across the United States. At almost the same time fans in costume at the King's Court Theater in Pittsburgh began performing alongside the film. This "shadow cast" mimed the actions on screen above and behind them while lip-syncing their character's lines. Still in limited release in 2022 some 47 years after its premiere it is the longest-running theatrical release in film history. In many cities live amateur shadow-casts act out the film as it is being shown and heavily draw upon a tradition of audience participation. The film is most often shown close to Halloween. Today the film has a large international cult following and has been considered by many as one of the greatest musical films of all time. In 2005 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally historically or aesthetically significant."
