Original one sheet poster for the 1976 Blaxploitation film "The Monkey Hustle." A classic entry in the action comedy subset of Blaxploitation films, in which a neighborhood must band together in order to prevent the city from demolishing their homes to build a highway. Set in Chicago, and shot there on location. Largely low-budget and geared towards a young urban audience, Blaxploitation films often depicted African Americans overcoming hostile authorities through cunning and violence, as well as conflicts internal to the culture. Though some of the first mainstream films to feature predominantly black casts and introduce previously non-represented elements of black culture, including the notable use of funk and soul music in soundtracks, they were also panned for furthering stereotypes about black people. Despite the controversy that the genre instilled, its motifs remain culturally relevant to this day, often parodied, acknowledged, and imitated in modern films and music. 27 x 41 inches, folded. Near Fine. Parish and Hill 149. Howard, Blaxploitation Cinema, p. 43-44, 174-175.

Revised Final Draft script for the 1958 television episode of "The Ed Wynn Show." Copy belonging to actor Tom Irish, with his name in green manuscript ink on the front wrapper and notation in green ink to a single page. Irish played an uncredited bit part named "Biff." In 1958, veteran vaudeville comedian Ed Wynn, creator of the innovative live skit-based 1949 television show of the same name, tried his hand at a third television series: a short-lived sitcom that would last only one season. Though Wynn was one of few beloved vaudevillians to make a successful transition to the small screen, with his first show featuring high profile Hollywood guests and winning a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Live Show in 1950, his success would not last indefinitely. As television grew, he would shift towards more serious dramatic roles. The 1958 iteration of "The Ed Wynn Show" would be the last series he put his name on before taking a spate of guest appearances and dramatic roles in various television shows and films.
