Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st printing. [rubbing/scuffing to covers, modest edgewear]. (Classic Film Scripts) Series Trade PB (B&W photographs) This volume, containing the screenplays for two classic von Sternberg/Marlene Dietrich vehicles, betrays this series' auteurist prejudices: the name of the actual screenwriter of both films, Jules Furthman, is omitted from the title page, which proclaims the pair to be "two films by Josef von Sternberg." This is the sort of thing that causes Writers Guild members to grind their teeth in their sleep.

Vintage studio still photograph from the 1949 re-release of the 1943 film. Fictionalized versions of Billy the Kid and Doc Holiday fight over the attentions of a feisty young woman. Director Howard Hughes fought with Production Code Administration head Joseph Breen for two years, primarily over how much of Jane Russell's cleavage was allowed to be visible, before Hughes agreed to a small number of cuts. After a brief run in San Francisco drew protests over the film's suggestive content and advertising, the film was withdrawn. It wouldn't see a wide release until 1946, where despite still being subject to censorship by local film boards, and a lawsuit over censors withdrawing their approval, it became a tremendous box office success, finally launching Russell's acting career. Set in New Mexico, shot on location in New Mexico, Arizona, and California. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine dj. First Edition. [book is tight and clean with no discernible wear; the jacket has shows only faint handling wear and some extremely minor edgewear]. (Wisconsin/Warner Bros. Screenplay Series) Series (B&W photographs) Screenplay for the delightfully entertaining 1944 film that apocryphally sprang from director Howard Hawks's boast to Ernest Hemingway that he could "make a picture out of your worst story." Things are never quite that simple, of course, and editor Kawin ably traces the development of the project from book (just barely) to script to screen in a detailed and erudite introduction -- although, as he explains, not all the archival script material that might have been illuminating was available to him at the time of his research. Supplmenting the script itself are extensive notes detailing the differences between the script (the second revised final script) and the final film; these are particularly revealing of the extent to which the picture was still being written as it was being shot. (It kills me that, for this volume as with this entire series, the publishers didn't see fit to include the names of the actual SCREENWRITERS on either the covers or the title pages of the books -- you've got to go all the way to the title page at the beginning of the script itself to find out that rather basic information -- with the result that most listed copies of this book give only Bruce Kawin as the "author." This is a shameful aspect of this otherwise most laudable series.).

Vintage "A Big Hand to Warners for 'The Big Sleep'" gatefold brochure from the Mystery Writers of America (MWA). In recognition of the 1946 film noir, based on the 1939 hardboiled crime novel by Raymond Chandler, directed by Howard Hawks, and starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, the MWA brochure, found here, bestows honorary memberships to Executive Producer Jack L. Warner and actors Bogart and Bacall, and features five short essays lionizing the film and the novel by Clayton Rawson, Ken Crossen, Edward D. Radin, Dorothy Hughes, and Hugh Pentecost in the fold-out. Hard-boiled private eye Philip Marlowe investigates the mysterious circumstances surrounding a wealthy young woman's gambling debts. Although the film was completed in 1945, the final version was significantly re-scripted and re-cut to play to the public's fascination with newly married couple Bacall and Bogart, who first appeared two years previously, in Howard Hawks' "To Have and Have Not." 7.25 x 10 inches four panel gatefold on orange paper. Very Good, split along the center seam, with a small chip to the bottom right of the front panel, and a faint vertical crease throughout. National Film Registry. Ebert I.
