Alan Ladd Veronica Lake William Bendix Howard Da Silva dir: George Marshall; Paramount. One of the finest classic film noir titles and written by the master of the genre Raymond Chandler. The story involved a war vet who returns home to see his wife with another man. She is murdered and he is the prime suspect. The Blue Dahlia is a nightclub where much of the action takes place. Chandler initially had the returning vet Bendix as the murderer but the patriotic atmosphere of the time would not permit a war vet to be seen in that light so he had to rewrite the story and character. Alan Ladd as Johnny Morrison addresses Doris Dowling as Helen Morrison and her guests at a cocktail party. Four pin holes at top center blank white margin two at top right corner.

Story of a San Francisco detective who suffers from vertigo and in investigating a friend's wife becomes obsessed with her.

A very unusual exterior display for the film during its first release in Spain during the Spring of 1961. In Spanish-speaking countries the film was titled Psicosis.

The famous cut out of Hitchcock pointing to his watch was installed inside and outside all theatres showing the film indicating that no patrons would be allowed into the theatre once the film had started. Two different posters and five lobby cards for the film are displayed.

ref. WALTER-FILM000759No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 8 x 10"" 20 x 25 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo USA. Clive Brook H. Reeves-Smith Betty Lawford Charles Hay Phillips Holmes Donald Crisp dir: Basil Dean; Paramount. The very first Sherlock Holmes film to be produced with sound and in which the immortal line ""Elementary my dear Watson"" was uttered on-screen though it does not appear in the writings of Arthur Canon Doyle. Made at the Paramount Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York and employing actors of the theatre this early Holmes effort is an antique curiosity today full of gadgets and gizmos which have little to do with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story also updated the setting to the present day. Clive Brook was known for his understated interpretation of the main character and he featured at right along with H. Reeves Smith as Dr. Watson and Betty Lawford as Marry Watson. Unfortunately the sound disks to this film are presently lost. Still 1221-36 includes the Paramount logo and title information along the bottom blank white margin. Actor's names written in pencil on verso. Right blank white margin edge a bit irregularly trimmed for publication NEAR FINE. unknown books

Minor corner creases and wear to all. One has chip at top right corner another has chip at bottom left corner. Overall very good. Four photos in a series called "How To Swim in Nine Easy Lessons". The series includes nine photos as indicated; present are numbers 1 6 8 and 9. Each has a blurb printed on the verso explaining the swim technique which Buster is demonstrating. They were used to publicize his appearance in the Paramount film Tip Off Girls. The Olympic swim champ was popular and utilized in film for his physique more so than his acting talents but he did make for an iconic Flash Gordon. From the Kenneth Anger collection but not stamped. Anger may have been planning a beefcake storyline for one of his books or just liked collecting beefcake photos of the stars. Photos coded P1498-240 241 243 248. Paramount
