1961137039Paris: Ajym Films 1961. Original French moyenne poster affiche for the 1961 French film. Winner of the 1962 Sutherland Trophy for best first or second feature by the British Film Institute. Scarce with only two copies found in Cine-ressources. <br/><br/>A labor of love released after numerous financial woes and a three-year production schedule "Paris Belongs to Us" did not cause the same stir as did the debuts of Rivette's "Cahiers du Cinema" peers though today it is seen as a film with an importance on the same level as the first works of Truffaut Godard and Chabrol. <br/><br/>Rivette retained his post at the journal throughout the 1960s even serving as editor from 1963 to 1965 as the French New Wave was in full swing. It wasn't until the start of the 1970s that Rivette's filmmaking career took off but the sensibilities and aesthetic values behind beloved masterpieces such as "Celine and Julie Go Boating" and "La belle noiseuse" are well on display in an exceptional first effort. <br/><br/>Rivette's career is generally defined by his adherence to long-form storytelling and a sense of structural reflexivity. This first feature serves as a perfect preamble to the epics that followed offering early insight into his sense for both larger scope and narrative complexity. At a confident 140 minutes the runtime of "Paris Belongs to Us" is roughly 40 minutes longer than any other first feature of the French New Wave though it pales in comparison to his later work particularly the twelve-hour "Out 1". Further with its focus on a theatrical Shakespeare production Rivette uses film to comment on its relationship to the stage a theme he would address in future films. <br/><br/>Set and shot in the streets and apartments of Paris. <br/><br/>23 x 31.5 inches folded as issued. Small exhibitor or distributor stamp to recto and verso. About Near Fine with small clean staple holes at corners and vertical fold very minor fold separation at edges and center. A wonderful of example of an unrestored and scarce poster for a landmark debut feature. <br/><br/>BFI 656. Ajym Films unknown books

1960139609Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1960. Original conceptual artwork the 1960 film. Featuring a drawing of Burt Lancaster with Audrey Hepburn clasped against him. Based on the 1957 novel by Alan Le May. <br /> <br /> In many ways a reflection on John Ford's 1956 film "The Searchers" which was also based on an Alan Le May novel "The Unforgiven" tells the story of a woman taken from her Native American tribe and raised by a white family. She struggles with her allegiance towards her adoptive family and her feelings towards another white man and a bloody battle ensues between the two communities. An uncommon film for its time it highlights the racism Native Americans had to endure from settlers of the Old West. <br /> <br /> A difficult shoot which included a severe back injury sustained by Audrey Hepburn when she fell off a horse director John Huston was unhappy with his producer's insistence on releasing a more commercially friendly film. While<br /> Hepburn and Huston would both eventually distance themselves from the film "The Unforgiven" remains a bold powerfully raw take on the Western with arguably some of the best performances of many of the actors involved. <br /> <br /> 20 x 25.5 inches. Graphite and charcoal on illustration board. Very Good with some tape at the top and bottom edges the bottom two corners bumped and light toning to the extremities. <br /> <br /> Hardy The Western p. 277. Hitt p. 329. Pitts 4662.

1989152234Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1989. Four sets of original storyboards for the 1990 film approximately 800 pages total. One set bound in script format with red wrappers noted in holograph ink annotation to the front wrappers as "Vol. I." the other set without wrappers.<br/><br/>Based on the popular 1984 novel. When the US government spots a massive high-tech Soviet submarine dead-set towards the Maine coastline officials must decide without any knowledge of its intentions whether they will allow the sub to reach American land or preemptively attack. Further complicating the situation is the uncooperative Russian government determined to overtake its rogue submarine but unwilling to reveal its true purpose. <br/><br/>Although the film rights to the novel were optioned before the book was published the complex plot and the prospectively huge cost of production led many studios to turn the project down. Nonetheless the film proved wildly successful and grossed over half its budget on the opening weekend alone paving the way for a number of Hollywood post-Cold War thrillers.

1961140665New York: Simon and Schuster 1961. First Edition. First Edition. Robert Rossen's annotated copy of the novel with his name in manuscript ink on a label affixed on the front board. Rossen would go on to adapt to the novel to the screen and direct in 1964. The film a psychological drama that was very much an antecedent for the New Hollywood era starred an array of actors that would go on to great heights: Warren Beatty Jean Seberg Peter Fonda and Kim Hunter. <br /> <br /> Rossen's paper clips all along the top page edges are still in place and the book's profuse annotations are mainly in the form of text that is bracketed in manuscript pencil at the margins indicating Rossen's decision process for pulling the content he would need to write the screenplay. <br /> <br /> Rossen's career began as a playwright in New York and like Odets Rossen had a tremendous passion for literature the theatre and radical politics. His intuitive understanding of the working class informed his first three screenplays after moving to Hollywood all for director Raoul Walsh: "The Roaring Twenties" 1939 "They Drive By Night" 1940 and "High Sierra" 1941. <br /> <br /> During this period he also wrote the screenplays for a number of seminal films noir including "Out of the Fog" 1941 "Blues in the Night" 1941 "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" 1941 and many others. <br /> <br /> Rossen's work in what became known as classic film noir culminated in three of his most powerful endeavors which he would also direct: "Johnny O'Clock" 1947 "Desert Fury" 1947 and "Body and Soul" 1947. He ended the 1940s with "All the King's Men" 1949 a powerful adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. <br /> <br /> In 1961 Rossen would adapt and direct the film that was the pinnacle of his career "The Hustler" 1961 a brave and unsettling study of a complex man whose psychological makeup cannot accommodate the burdens of his own talents as a professional pool player. <br /> <br /> Good to Very Good lacking the dust jacket. Well read with many leaves dog-eared hinges loose and split backstrip worn. Simon and Schuster unknown
