ref. WALTER-FILM000176No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 14 x 17"" 35 x 43 cm. jumbo lobby card USA. Clara Bow Frederic March Rex Bell dir: Frank Tuttle; Paramount. This is the story of a girl who works at a soda fountain in San Diego. She is the favorite of all sailors who come to port. Each one is her favorite as well as they come in at separate times. Problems arise whenever they arrive at the same time. However Ruby Nolan really pines mainly for the one gob who will not give her the time of day -- it is her mission to peak his interest. Film was made in both talkie and silent versions. Bow was known to audiences for her irresistible personality and for her red hair and this fantastic image highlights just that! It also shows her with her many boyfriends including Frederic March with his arms around her and soon-to-be husband Rex Bell at lower right. One of the highlights experienced in the sound version only was Bow's singing of ""Believe It or Not I Lost My Man"" -- that would be hard to believe. Both the silent and talking versions of this title are extant. This is a museum quality piece VERY GOOD. unknown books
ref. WALTER-FILM000421No 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. A stunning image of Dietrich at her most glamorous 1930s appearance. After five years of making films nearly exclusively with director Josef von Sternberg she was allowed to work in various genres with different directors including Borzage and Lubitsch. This portrait was most likely made during the months she was making the romantic comedy Angel. As always her styling is impeccable: she is wearing what is likely a suit by Travis Banton her lighting and make-up flawless in creating her star illusion. The ""Paramount Pictures Marlene Dietrich"" byline is at the bottom left edge of the image and there is a production number at the right edge which appears to be ""1167-482"".

ref. WALTER-FILM000182No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 14 x 36"" 35 x 91 cm. insert poster USA. James Stewart Grace Kelly Wendell Corey Thelma Ritter dir: Alfred Hitchcock; Paramount. The story of an apartment-bound man who takes an interest in the many neighbors living in the building behind him including the revelation of a murder. An interesting aspect which helped create the world in which James Stewart's character lived is that all of the sounds were ""live"" -- all dialogue the sounds of people autos and all music cues were sounds which were live within the story. Just another wonderful Hitchcock touch. Minor border wear repaired and touched-up without necessitating tape or backing. Insert appears to have never been folded NEAR FINE. unknown books
1933ref. WALTER-FILM001169William Faulkner source Vintage original pressbook "Press Sheet and AD-SALES Catalogue" UK. Pictorial wrappers 8 pp. 11 ½ x 9 ½" 30 x 24 cm. pages partly coming loose VERY GOOD. 1933 pre-Code film based on William Faulkner's 1931 novel Sanctuary. An extremely rare film only shown at festivals on occasion since its release with only one known nitrate print in storage at UCLA. Along with Baby Face made the same year The Story of Temple Drake is one of the most notorious of the films from the pre-Code area so controversial that it was ordered never to be shown again after the Production Code Administration was instituted the following year. The controversy comes straight from Faulkner's source material wherein a wealthy and neurotic Southern belle is trapped in a hideout with a gang of vicious criminal bootleggers. The leader of the gang Trigger lusts after the woman and her subsequent rape is presented in a manner that was unheard of at the time. George Raft under contract to Paramount was assigned the part but found the part repulsive and went to battle with the studio in a suit that nearly cost him his career. This British pressbook has extensive illustrations of the notorious advertising and poster campaign which eventually made the film's release such a troubled one. A rare piece from a film that is legendary in the history of literary adaptation and film censorship. It is very interesting to note a few references to Faulkner in the text as he was not yet a well-known author much less in the UK. Paramount British paperback books
