WALTER-FILM000182No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 14 x 36"" 35 x 91 cm. insert poster USA. James Stewart Grace Kelly Wendell Corey Thelma Ritter dir: Alfred Hitchcock; Paramount. The story of an apartment-bound man who takes an interest in the many neighbors living in the building behind him including the revelation of a murder. An interesting aspect which helped create the world in which James Stewart's character lived is that all of the sounds were ""live"" -- all dialogue the sounds of people autos and all music cues were sounds which were live within the story. Just another wonderful Hitchcock touch. Minor border wear repaired and touched-up without necessitating tape or backing. Insert appears to have never been folded NEAR FINE. unknown books
WALTER-FILM000149No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. lobby card USA. Marlene Dietrich Sam Jaffe John Loder C. Aubrey Smith Gavin Gordon dir: Josef von Sternberg; Paramount. One of the finest lobby cards for one of film history's most truly bizarre movies. Perhaps this was Sternberg's answer for Dietrich to her great competitor Greta Garbo's Queen Christina. While that film attempted to tell an accurate historical account of a historic queen this film was a major experiment in style. The basis was the story of Princess Sophia of Germany who is taken to Russia to marry half wit Grand Duke Peter played with aplomb insanity by Jaffe. The Princess is repulsed by him finds love with a Russian soldier and produces a son. No one asks questions and she moves on to become Catherine the Great. Much of the film was silent and drenched in Gothic sets set pieces and artifice shot through diffusions of all kinds and lit in expressionistic ways which have never been duplicated. It became an homage by Sternberg who was by now obsessed to Dietrich. Dietrich is swathed in a fur creation by Travis Banton. There are a few scattered pinholes to an otherwise perfect card with vibrant colors FINE. unknown books

Fields Martha Raye Dorothy Lamour Shirley Ross Bob Hope Lynne Overman Ben Blue dir: Mitchell Leisen; Paramount. One of the finest and best remembered of the 1930s musicals if for no other reason than the introduction by Ross and Hope his first feature role of the classic song ""Thanks for the Memory"" it won the Academy Award. Martha Raye who did her own stunts in a raucously entertaining number was ingeniously cast as W. C. Fields' daughter in his last film for Paramount. Everyone shone in their musical moments in a story which concerned a race between two ocean liners from which the new S.S. Gigantic had a big radio broadcast emitting you see the turbine engine worked on radio waves is the explanation!. Amongst the numbers broadcast and lavishly staged were Kirsten Flagstad performing Wagner in full opera regalia. The radio audience was not able to see the extravagant finale concerning the history of dance but the film audience could. Direction by Mitchell Leisen lifted the film above the normal musical faire of the period. On linen NEAR FINE. unknown books

Near fine. </em></p><p>A beautiful portrait of Anna May Wong for one of her most substantial roles in a major talking film the notorious pre-Code opus <em>Shanghai Express</em> directed by Josef von Stroheim. Though Wong received third billing behind Marlene Dietrich and Clive Brook her portrayal of Hui Fei is universally regarded as a masterclass in acting. Hui Fei is a fiercely independent woman navigating a train ride from Peking to Shanghai during the Chinese Civil War which is hijacked by rebel forces. Her performance often overshadowed Dietrich's. Unfortunately she would not be cast in another role as complex as this. Wikipedia</p><p>Photo coded P671-245.</p> Paramount

WALTER-FILM000176No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 14 x 17"" 35 x 43 cm. jumbo lobby card USA. Clara Bow Frederic March Rex Bell dir: Frank Tuttle; Paramount. This is the story of a girl who works at a soda fountain in San Diego. She is the favorite of all sailors who come to port. Each one is her favorite as well as they come in at separate times. Problems arise whenever they arrive at the same time. However Ruby Nolan really pines mainly for the one gob who will not give her the time of day -- it is her mission to peak his interest. Film was made in both talkie and silent versions. Bow was known to audiences for her irresistible personality and for her red hair and this fantastic image highlights just that! It also shows her with her many boyfriends including Frederic March with his arms around her and soon-to-be husband Rex Bell at lower right. One of the highlights experienced in the sound version only was Bow's singing of ""Believe It or Not I Lost My Man"" -- that would be hard to believe. Both the silent and talking versions of this title are extant. This is a museum quality piece VERY GOOD. unknown books
