réf. WALTER-FILM007776Paramount. No binding. Just About Fine. Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1929. Set of 12 vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm black-and-white photos one with mimeographed text on verso three with the film's title stamped on verso overall just about fine. Josef von Sternberg's first talking film. Some historians credit his importance in the evolution of gangster films with his UNDERWORLD 1927. This was by any standard the first significant talking gangster film. It tells the story of a criminal facing execution who wants to kill the man in the next cell for being in love with his former girlfriend. Sternberg experimented with asynchronous sound effects which served to augment or supplement the visual effects or as he framed the process "To be correctly and effectively used the sound had to bring to the image a quality other than what the lens included a quality out of the range of the image. Sound had to counterpoint or compensate for the image add to it – not subtract from it." Rather than the external and complementary musical accompaniment of silent films Sternberg's scores arise organically with the mise-en-scène and form a key component of the film. The music off-screen does not recede in deference to the on-screen dialogue but competes with it. Off-screen voices comment on the visual action but are not identified visually until later in the film sequence contributing to an "unrealistic cadence" that characterizes the film's dialogue. Film historian Andrew Sarris describes it as "a startling experiment. his use of sound and music for mood effects and the very unreality of his style seems to justify the unusual density of his sound track." Sternberg also uses sound expressionistically such as the erratic start-stop of a sewing machine or the "sinister" squeaking of a dog's ball toy squeezed by the condemned criminal in the hours before his death.

Trent armed with a machine gun kills Shakespeare but makes Nolan believe it is his shot that has done so.

Minor soiling to edges crease at bottom right corner 1929 holograph note on verso. Near fine. Rare is this image of cast with crew so many waiting to be identified with many of the top artists at Paramount Studios. The film is notable for being both the debut of Jeanette MacDonald and the first talkie film made by Ernst Lubitsch. The picture was also released in a French-language version called Parade d'amour. Maurice Chevalier thought he would never be capable of acting as a royal courtier and had to be persuaded by Lubitsch. This huge box-office hit appeared just after the Wall Street crash and did much to save the fortunes of Paramount Studios. The major players of this groundbreaking early sound musical are present in the front row including Lupino Lane Lubitsch MacDonald Chevalier and likely cinematographer Victor Milner at left behind Jeanette. He won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. He and Lubitsch are mentioned in the handwritten note on verso. The notations also specifically indicate the filming dates of June July and August 1929. Paramount unknown
