1945ref. 148183Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1945. Two vintage studio still photographs one borderless from the 1945 film noir. Borderless photograph has folded mimeo snipe affixed to verso other photograph has a "King Features Syndicate Inc. Library" stamp on the verso. Based on the 1941 novel by John Brahm. The producers decided to move the setting from then-present-day early 1940s to the late 1800s giving the film a "Gaslight" feel in terms of atmosphere. But the story itself is far more harrowing one of the most effective and disturbing Film Noirs of the 1940s with a Bernard Herrmann score including an actual "invented" piano concerto to go with it. The second of two key films John Brahm made with the great Laird Cregar in an unsympathetic lead role. Cregar specialized in creepy ambiguous characters a type he virtually invented in "I Wake Up Screaming" 1941 honed in Brahm's "The Lodger" 1944 and perfected in this film which was to be his last -the actor died of self-imposed malnutrition before he could see the premiere. . 1 8 x 10 inches.

1978ref. 160953New York: Harvey Hutter & Co. Inc 1978. Vintage "US Senator Blutarsky" poster used as an ultimately little known bizarre futuristic advertisement for the 1978 film. National Lampoon was a huge success as an alternative magazine in the early 1970s and irrevocably altered its future in 1978 with the production of this film an irreverent sharp and now classic comedy. A production company was launched making over half a dozen films between 1978-2002 and as a result today's generation associates "National Lampoon" almost completely with its films rather than its pulp origins. And importantly this was the film that catapulted Harold Ramis and Belushi from television into the movies where they would both flourish. Nominated by the Writer's Guild of America for Best Comedy Screenplay in 1979. 24 x 30 inches. Very Good plus with light edgewear including several small closed tears at the extremities and a small chip to the upper right side and light creasing overall. National Film Registry.
