196932779Holywood: Desilu Studios unpublished Circa 1969-1971. A reel of original black and white 16mm film containing a film print of the full footage of the blooper reels Roddenberry had assembled following seasons one and two of STAR TREK September 8 1966 to March 29 1968. Roughly fifteen minutes of black and white footage from film originally rescued from the cutting-room floor at Deslu Studios. On a contemporary 12.5 inch film spool and in a film can from the same period. The digital print is made from the actual film provided and is on modern "thumb-drive" media. Request for conversion to DVD. The celluloid film appears to be very well preserved there is no odor of acetate or evidence of brittleness associated with degraded film the actual projected images range from scene to scene but are as in virtually all known examples generally of fairly low quality. The history of the their creation and early distribution explains this. A VERY ENJOYABLE AND YET ALSO AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL ITEM FROM THE MOST FAMOUS TELEVISION SCIENCE FICTION SERIES OF ALL TIME. STAR TREK has lived on to be a cultural phenomenon with an almost 60 year life comprised of twelve television series twelve major motion pictures and a countless array of books graphic novels parodies and various merchandise. In the history of modern Science Fiction only STAR WARS rivals its popularity.<br> The STAR TREK bloopers were also the first generally viewed or distributed films of their kind. In the decades since bloopers have become big business spawning a popular television series and commonly shown at the end of movies such as the Marvel film series and Dreamworks productions. But prior to STAR TREK unusable footage such as this was in virtually all cases simply discarded.<br> The making of the STAR TREK Blooper Reels began as a labor of love. Series creator Gene Roddenberry hand-assembled the first original reel from film scraps rescued from the cutting room floor of things such as goof-ups horseplay practical jokes etc. This first reel was made to show to the cast production staff and other studio personal at a 1966 Desilu Christmas party. It was a hit and he had a few copies made to give as gifts to the studio execs. At the conclusion of season one he created a second reel using film from reel one combined with additional new footage from the episodes produced after Christmas. Copies of this reel were also produced again as gifts to studio execs. Another reel was made using clips from season two.<br> STAR TREK was canceled in 1968 but knowing it had a broad base of mostly well educated fans the studio heavily promoted it for syndication. These afternoon "reruns" quickly gave the series a second life. Roddenberry began as early as 1969 going to colleges to give public speaking appearances and occasionally brought along his copies of the popular "bloopers". These appearances eventually led to the early S.T. conventions where Roddenberry would speak and often show his film reels. Eventually as the conventions grew in popularity copies were made from Roddenberry's copies for wider distribution. And occasionally copies of those copies were made to sell to the devoted fans. While the original broadcast episodes of the series were protected by copyright the editing room scraps were not. The conventions could show these as they pleased; and in fact the series owners by this time Paramount/Gulf Western encouraged it as free advertising for the franchise; they would later try to clamp down on this but the genie was already out of the bottle.<br> The distribution reels being made from Roddenberry's already well-loved and often-shown originals is what accounts for the generally poor audio and video to be found on the film. Fan complaints about the viewing quality go back as far as the early 1970s. No official effort to restore or market the bloopers has ever been made though parts of them showed up on unauthorized VHS anthologies in the 1980s and later on unauthorized DVDs.<br> The reel of film offered here contains the full season one reel combined with the full reel from season two making for just over 15 minutes of viewing pleasure. It is also an uncommon example as it was produced in black and white. The bloopers themselves provide a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse not only into STAR TREK but into the television industry of the era. They show us a typically good-natured group of fun and creative people who seem to be genuinely enjoying their work. Many of the scenes are physical mishaps such as tripping falling dropping things or walking into doors that happens a lot. Others are line flubs and slips of the tongue and many more are the cast of actors just goofing around horse-playing or pulling gags on one and other. Much of the activity is clearly from a different era and would be considered highly "workplace inappropriate" by today's standards! [Desilu Studios, unpublished] unknown

197716625JNew York 1977. Measuring 8 by 10 inches. Signed in blue ink: Best wishes Alec Guinness. Former ownership stamp and writing on verso in fine condition. When Guinness read the script for Star Wars was reluctant to do the film but Lucas badly wanted a major star and he offered Guinness $150000 plus 2% of profits and Guinness agreed and became Obi-Wan Kenobi and later was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. Guinness had made a stipulation his character would die before the end of the movie so he would not have to appear in the inevitable sequels which he actually did briefly appear in! Guinness was shocked by the huge success of Star Wars and the financial windfall it gave him. He would occasionally sign photographs from Stars War but they are not common. unknown
194353630Tunisia 1943. Nearly Fine. Five-pointed yellow cloth star sewn onto plain beige cloth 7.3 by 9 cm. Yellow dye somewhat faded else in fine state of preservation.<br /> <br /> Specimen of the yellow star imposed on the Jewish population of Tunisia in March 1943 as a mark of the slave laboror. Tunisia was the only Islamic country to come under Nazi rule at first indirectly through the Vichy regime in France between 1940 and its liberation by Allied forces on May 7 1943. In response to the Allied invasion of Algeria and Morocco German and Italian forces invaded Tunisia on November 9 1942. By the end of November the Germans took the first anti-Jewish move by arresting four of the community leaders including Moïse Borgel the president of the Jewish congregation. "In addition to the governor-general's sympathetic attitude -- and in some degree to the pro-Jewish attitude of Bey Sidi Mohammed al-Mounsaf -- the Italians also in practice interfered with the application of the anti-Jewish laws" E.H. The dignitaries were released after a week following the intervention of the mayor of Tunis and the Italian consul. Because of objections by the Italians the edict to wear the star does not appear to have been generally enforced with rigor and was only formally imposed in two cities Sfax and Tunis. While 5000 Jews had originally been put on forced labor in thirty locations and camps along the front line "at the time of the collapse and surrenter in early May 1943 only sixteen hundred Jews were employed on forced labor" E.H. Given the relatively small labor force and the lack of zeal in imposing the anti-Jewish ordinances it is clear why so few of these yellow badges have survived. References: I. Gutman ed.

After months of searching the "monster" is spotted sinking a merchant vessel and the frigate attacks only to be sunk themselves. Adrift in the ocean the three come upon a strange metal vessel and realize the "monster" is a "submerging boat." The trio are captured by Captain Nemo James Mason and taken aboard the submarine the Nautilus and journey on a voyage of adventure and discovery under the sea.<br/><br/>Nominated for three Academy Awards winning two for Art Direction and Special Effects.<br/><br/>Shot on location in California Jamaica and the Bahamas. <br/><br/>Blue titled wrappers with affixed Walt Disney Productions label as called for with Disney scripts from this era noted as FINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT on the front wrapper with credits for screenwriter Earl Felton.

1983791983. Very good. Ps. Sensational original presentation color photograph 16" X 20" of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in her slave costume. Boldly inscribed by Fisher in black ink to her psychiatrist Dr. Arnold Klein "For my own crazy. Who loves you darling Guess again. Princess Leia. Opiates for sure." With the original hologram sticker "Officially Licensed Star Wars Photograph" in the lower left corner. 2 dozen surface scratches else very good. Framed. If you like this sort of thing this is the sort of thing you'll like. My take Carrie's Leia is one of the 2 late 1970s world-wide magnetic babe fantasies see page 19 in this catalog for the other but needless to say we don't number our pages. And speaking of babes when we do employment interviews at Biblioctopus we give the women a bite-sized Snickers. If they take the wrapper off before eating it we make them catalogers. If they eat it with the wrapper still on they get hired for Security. unknown books
