Zustand: Wrappers gently used. 4to, unpag. 32pp in printed card wrappers, illustrated throughout. Illustrated souvenir program from the film adaptation of Joyce's landmark novel by Joseph Strick. A gadfly director, Strick embraced the challenge of being the first to adapt Joyce's masterpiece into film, taking motivation from the many doubters and naysayers who thought him a fool for trying it. He initially aimed to film the entire novel, word for word, in an epic production that would have run nearly twenty hours. Unable to secure any funding for such a project, he had to reduce it two hours. Shot in contemporary 1960s Dublin with a superb cast of Irish actors including Milo O'Shea as Leopold Bloom, Barbara Jefford as Molly Bloom, Maurice Roeves as Stephen Dedalus, and T.P. McKenna as Buck Mulligan, it took Strick three years to complete the film, which was released in New York in March of 1967. It generated immediate controversy and was censored at the Cannes festival and in Britain, and entirely banned in Ireland until 2000. (Although barred from theatrical release, private clubs were able to screen the film for Irish audiences). Famously, it was the first film in the U.K. to contain the word "fuck." Nor was it especially warmly received by critics or the community of Joyceans. In later years, however, appreciation has grown for Strick's achievement.

Six vintage reference photographs from the 1967 film. With printed mimeo snipes affixed to the verso. The first film adaptation of James Joyce's influential modernist novel, and one of the only adaptations to take its dialogue directly from the book.

Set in Dublin, Ireland, and shot there on location. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, several lightly toned.
