Archive of 94 vintage, double weight photographs from the 1928 film. Inspired by the 1919 nonfiction travel book by Frederick O'Brien, and retaining much of that work's anti-imperialist themes, about an alcoholic doctor who is set adrift by white traders after objecting to their treatment of the Polynesian workers, only to wash ashore on an island where the natives have never seen a white man. MGM?s first film with a fully prerecorded soundtrack, comprised of music and sound effects, including, most notably, the first time the company?s mascot Leo the Lion roared at the film?s start, although the film doesn?t quite classify as a talkie, as only the single whispered word ?hello? appears in the soundtrack. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Set on a Polynesian Island, shot on location in Tahiti, at the time an ambitious endeavor to shoot a Hollywood film on location among native islanders, using many of them as extras in the film. 10 x 8 inches. Generally Very Good, with expected light curling and fading, with occasional light creasing or bruising to the photographs. In a custom cloth clamshell box. For buyers with a serious potential interest in purchase, a link to a complete set of watermarked images is available on request. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema.

Vintage black and white publicity photograph of actor Monte Blue shining his shoes on the set of the 1926 Ernst Lubitsch film. With an annotation in manuscript pencil on the verso attesting to same. Based on the 1872 play "Le Reveillon" by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy. A married man living in Paris discovers that his old flame, a free-spirited, flirtatious woman, has moved in next door. Lubitsch's penultimate silent film. Monte Blue established himself as popular male lead during the silent era in "Birth of a Nation" (1915) and "Intolerance" (1916), and unlike many silent-era actors, transitioned with ease and success into the sound era beginning in 1927, with this film, "White Shadows in the South Seas" (1928), and "Key Largo" (1948). German-born director Lubitsch moved to the US in the early 1920s, contracted by silent film starlet Mary Pickford to direct "Rosita" (1923). The film proved a substantial hit for both Pickford and Lubitsch, and kicked off the director's successful career in Hollywood, where he became known for "the Lubitsch touch," a catchall for his benign, elegant comedies of manners, most notably "Trouble in Paradise" (1932), "Ninotchka" (1939), "The Shop Around the Corner" (1940), and "Heaven Can Wait" (1943). Set in Paris. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with brief wear to the top left and bottom right corners.
