1972réf. 20743New York: The Viking Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. First Edition. Hardcover. no discernible wear to book; jacket shows only light surface- and edge-wear. The MGM Library of Film Scripts B&W photographs In their second M-G-M outing Groucho Harpo and Chico now permanently Zeppo-less take on the medical profession with Groucho as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush a horse doctor posing as the medical director of a sanitarium. Both the original script and the dialogue and action from the film as released are presented it sez here "because the final film differs so much from the script."

1972réf. 29863New York: United Artists Corporation / The Center for Understanding Media Inc. Fine. ca.1972. First Edition. Softcover. as new with no discernible wear of any kind. B&W photo cover An uncommon piece of Beatles-related ephemera consisting of four mimeographed pages text on one side only fastened together with a single staple inside a printed folder with a photo of the Fab Four on the cover. This was issued under the banner of UA:16 the non-theatrical 16mm distribution arm of United Artists to assist high school teachers who wanted to use The Beatles' 1964 debut feature film as part of their classroom curricula these teachers would have to have been quite a few degrees cooler than any high school teacher I ever had with the exception of Mr. Patrick Burns. Its contents are organized under four headings -- The Origin of the Film; The Filmmakers and Their Format; The Attitude of the Film; Suggestions for Usage -- and as might be expected from the imposition of such an overlay onto such an essentially anarchic film the results despite their obvious sincerity are often unintentionally hilarious. One sample: The film "according to type may be classified as an entertainment documentary or as an actuality reenactment or as all other kinds of contradictory terms. It is unique in its class because it sets out to record the actual face of an entertainment event without losing the distancing effect of cinema artifice." The "Suggestions for Usage" section begins: "A Hard Day's Night is basically an experience. In colleges it has a validity as a sociological study but on the high school level it is a chance for a teenager to confront himself and his values. The teenagers presented in the film are actually people not actors and as previously described by Hunter Davies 'emotionally mentally or sexually excited foaming at the mouth' etc. Although the film elicited the same reaction hopefully in the seventies in the classroom it would received a more balanced reaction. The movie itself is an antidote to runaway emotionalism." NOTE that I have dated this based in part on its inclusion of quotes from Hunter Davies's 1968 biography of The Beatles and Joseph Gelmis's 1970 book "The Film Director as Superstar." .

Stapled wraps. a nice clean copy minor handling wear only and a couple of small horizontal stress lines along the spine. B&W photographs Nicely-done program/tribute book largely photographic from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor also the co-author of the tribute itself was Joseph McBride who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. NOTE that this is not the version of the program that was produced for sale to the public by the AFI which had a picture of Capra on the front but rather the program distributed at the dinner itself with a silver-on-silver cover featuring only the AFI logo. .

1982réf. 21110Washington DC: The American Film Institute. Near Fine. 1982. Stapled wraps. a small amount of wear along the spine otherwise nice and fresh just about as new. B&W photographs Nicely-done program/tribute book largely photographic from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor also the co-author of the tribute itself was Joseph McBride who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. NOTE that this would appear to be the "public" version of the program with Capra pictured on the front cover that was produced for sale and/or distribution to AFI members; the program distributed at the dinner itself following the pattern of earlier years had a silver-on-silver cover featuring only the AFI logo. Nonetheless along with most of these programs prior to 1986 -- the first time a specifically-labeled "AFI Souvenir Edition" was produced in large quantities -- this one is fairly scarce. .

1974réf. 17173Washington DC: The American Film Institute. Good. 1974. First Edition. Stapled wraps. a somewhat beat-up copy clean inside and out but with numerous small creases/bends/dents in covers. B&W photographs Tribute book for the AFI's second annual award the first presented to an actor. Includes two short articles "The Unforgettable Young Man" by Joan Blondell and "James Cagney: A Few Thoughts on the Next 2 Billion Years" by Ray Bradbury; plus numerous comments from Cagney's professional colleagues and friends. At that time he had been retired from the screen for 13 years but was subsequently lured back for two appearances notably in Milos Forman's RAGTIME 1981 and much less notably in the dreadful 1984 TV-movie TERRIBLE JOE MORAN. NOTE regarding the variant silver/white cover: I don't know why this publication was issued with two different cover designs nor what their respective purposes were. The other less common is white/red; the contents are identical. This was only the second year the award was presented so I guess the AFI hadn't quite decided on a format yet; however I think of the silver/white cover as the standard cover because that's what they they used for the "event" versions at least through 1983 as opposed to the "souvenir" versions which had an image of the honoree on the front cover the first of which was the 1981 edition honoring Fred Astaire. .

1981réf. 28814Washington DC: The American Film Institute. Very Good. 1981. Stapled wraps. modestly worn with some light scuffing/scraping on the front cover; the "Guest Seating" insert has a large piece torn out of the upper right corner of the front cover no loss of content. B&W photographs Nice program/tribute book largely photographic; also includes short essays by Arlene Croce John Green Marcelle Clements and Adolph Green plus a filmography. NOTE that this is the silver-covered edition indicating that it was actually the property of someone who attended the event as opposed to the "souvenir" editions which AFI also produced for distribution/sale to its members which had pictorial covers. As further evidence that this copy belonged to an attendee it contains the 8-page "Guest Seating" insert which lists everybody in attendance with their table numbers. This copy does however lack the 8-page beige-stock insert noted by at least one other bookseller. . The American Film Institute paperback books
