1962143142Beverly Hills CA: M.C. Productions / United Artists 1962. Two vintage studio still photographs from the 1962 film. <br/><br/>Based on Richard Condon's 1959 novel. A film that managed the unlikely feat of being both timely and well ahead of its time combining several ambitious themes including thought control political assassination multinational conspiracy Oedipal issues and Cold War paranoia.

Contrary to popular belief the film was not pulled from circulation following the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy but did disappear in 1972 when rights reverted to Frank Sinatra who subsequently neglected to pursue continued distribution. This lapse continued until the 1988 when Sinatra re-released the film to theaters in conjunction with MGM and United Arists. <br/><br/>Set in Korea and Washington DC shot on location in New York California.

1974115207Los Angeles: Cinevision Ltee 1974. Final script for the 1975 film "The Man in the Glass Booth" directed by Arthur Hiller based on the play by Robert Shaw written for the screen by Edward Anhalt and starring Maximilian Schell. In a custom quarter leather clamshell box.<br/><br/>A complex thriller built around a Jewish businessman who survived the concentration camps in World War II. Well-known for being bizarrely and viciously antisemitic he is unexpectedly put on trial for reputed war crimes. The film version was initially disowned by the playwright likely due to the near-riots and early closure of the play due to misunderstandings and misinterpretations over its meaning. Shaw changed his mind after seeing the finished film but it was by that time too late to add his name to the credits and he died a few years later. The film did quite well upon its release and Maximilian Schell was later nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Almost completely unavailable for viewing in any form for nearly twenty years the film has recently been remastered and released on DVD and is considered by many to be a career performance for Schell. <br/><br/>Yellow titled wrappers with titles stamped in silver on the front wrapper.
