1973Best.-Nr. 139507Boca Raton FL: Penthouse 1973. Vintage oversize double weight borderless still photograph from the 1973 film based on the 1947 novel by Andrew Lytle. Shot struck and mounted by the film's still photographer Bob Willoughby with a manuscript notation in his hand on the verso. Full provenance available. Culp and Eggar romp in a bed that is the middle of the woods for some reason while the haunted house that will exert a corrupting influence on the couple looms in the background. An image that does not appear in the so-bad-its-nearly-avant garde film but one that nevertheless captures its aura of surreal eroticism quite well. Set in the countryside of Southern California shot on location in British Columbia Indian Arm and Vancouver. After studying with Saul Bass at the Kann Institute of Art in Los Angeles photographer Robert Willoughby began working for magazines such as "Life" "Look" and "Harper's Bazaar" in the late 1940s. He spent the next 20-plus years as a set photographer for every major studio and magazine with his images seen in print literally every week of his career. Willoughby's photographs are in the permanent collections of ten museums including The National Portrait Galleries in Washington DC and London the Bibliotheque Nationale de France The Museum of Modern Art and The Tate Modern. 13.25 x 9 inches.

1933Best.-Nr. 140939Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1933. Four vintage photographs from the 1933 film one double weight and sepia one double weight and black-and-white and two single-weight and sepia. Based on William Faulkner's 1931 literary potboiler "Sanctuary" about a wealthy southern belle who goes to trial for murdering the violent bootlegger who abducted her and forced her into prostitution. Every bit as controversial as the source material the film's depiction of sexual violence was graphic and shocking even among films of the era and along with the same year's equally sensational "Baby Face" was directly responsible for the stricter enforcement of the Production Code in 1934 bringing the pre-Code era to a close. George Raft then under contract to Paramount was assigned the role of the bootlegger but found the part repulsive and went to battle with the studio in a suit that nearly cost him his career. Unavailable for decades outside of 16mm bootlegs the film was restored by the Museum of Modern Art in 2011 and screened at the TCM Classic Film Festival but still awaits a commercial release. Photographs between 9.75 x 7.5 and 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus overall. Grant US. Paramount Pictures unknown
