Rare and important draft shooting script for the Hollywood film The Mysterious Island. Loosely adapted from Jules Verne's science fiction novel L’ile mystérieuse this MGM production - a part-talkie - was filmed in two-strip Technicolour and had a checkered production history: shooting had commenced in 1926 but the film was not released until 5 October 1929. Lucien Hubbard 1888-1971 was officialy credited as the writer of the screenplay and as director even though scenes shot earlier by Maurice Tourneur and Benjamin Christensen - both removed from the project by Irving Thalberg because of their painstaking approach to filmmaking - were used in the final version. Lucien Hubbard is today perhaps best-known as the producer of the silent film Wings 1927 for which he won an Academy Award. Until recently a single ten-minute reel with a colour sequence in the UCLA Film and Television Archive was thought to be the only portion of The Mysterious Island that had survived in Technicolour although complete black-and-white prints had always been known. Then in 2013 experts from George Eastman House discovered that a colour print had been preserved in the Czech National Film Archive; the restored colour print of the film was screened at the 33rd Pordenone Silent Film Festival in October 2014. The cast of The Mysterious Island included Lionel Barrymore Count Andre Dakkar Jane Daly Jacqueline Gadsden Sonia Lloyd Hughes Nikolai Montagu Love Falon Harry Gribbon Mikhail Snitz Edwards Anton Gibson Gowland Dmitry Dolores Brinkman Teresa and Major Roup an underwater creature. Art direction was by Cedric Gibbons with technical effects by James Basevi Louis H. Tolhurst and Irving R. Ries. Jacqueline Gadsden 1900-1986 was an American film actress during the silent era. Her most famous role was in It 1927 in which she starred alongsde Clara Bow. In 1924 she had married William Harry Daly and in fact she made two other films in the same year that The Mysterious Island was released 1929 - one for Columbia and another for MGM - in which she was billed under the name Jane Daly. The Mysterious Island was her last film prior to retirement from motion pictures.  unknown

1960125095London: Michael Powell Theatre 1960. Vintage British Advance Poster for the classic 1960 film. The British Double Crown poster for the film turns up from time to time but this Advance issue which does not state the film's title is a rarity. <br /> <br /> Noted director Powell's most controversial film about a serial killer who films his female victims as they are dying. Reviled by critics on its release and today considered a masterpiece it is the second of three feature films director made after parting ways with his longtime filmmaking partner Emeric Pressburger. Ostensibly a film about a killer with serious Freudian issues but later reassessed as much more conceptual and complex. Roger Ebert pointed out famously in his 1999 review of the film that the audience is implicated as much as the killer."Movies make us into voyeurs. We sit in the dark watching other people's lives. It is the bargain the cinema strikes with us although most films are too well-behaved to mention it."<br /> <br /> Martin Scorsese is probably the most famous fan of the film and takes Ebert's argument further saying "I have always felt that "Peeping Tom" and "8 " say everything that can be said about filmmaking about the process of dealing with film the objectivity and subjectivity of it and the confusion between the two. "8 " captures the glamour and enjoyment of film-making while "Peeping Tom" shows the aggression of it how the camera violates. From studying them you can discover everything about people who make films or at least people who express themselves through films."<br /> <br /> 30 x 20 inches.

1929137372Budapest: Hunnia Filmstudio 1929. Specially bound copy of an Early Draft script for the Hungarian film released in Hungry in 1932 as "Tavaszi zapor" in Frace in 1933 as "Marie Legende Hongroise" and in the United States in 1935 as "Spring Shower." Housed in a likely hand-sewn floral cloth-covered portfolio the script is INSCRIBED by the Hungarian-American feminist and radical socialist screenwriter Ilona Fulop on the title page: "To Mac: / Because You still trust me! / Ilona / Christmas 1929 / Hollywood Cal." A unique and attractive item and probably the only surviving copy of the script. <br /> <br /> The story of a poor girl driven out of her village when she becomes pregnant by her employer's wealthy fiance finding refuge working as a maid in a brothel. After her daughter is taken from her however she falls into alcoholism and dies. A maid in Heaven as she was on earth she saves her daughter from befalling a similar fate by "emptying her mop bucket" on her daughter's head via a rain shower at a pivotal moment. <br /> <br /> A multinational production in which a Hungarian screenwriter and Hungarian director both with experience in Hollywood shot a film starring a French actress using frozen assets from a French producer that had been mandated for exclusively Hungarian use. Though not a box office success at the time it is now regarded as one of the all-time great films originating from the country. In a 1919 article entitled "What is 'Revolution' Doing to Love" screenwriter Fulop describes herself as a socialist radical as opposed to a revolutionary or a Bolshevik and her desire to further equal rights for women strongly defines her as a modern-day feminist as well. "Spring Showers" with its women- and proletarian-friendly plot thus comes as little surprise. <br /> <br /> Housed in floral cloth-covered portfolio titled wrappers.
