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

1933WALTER-FILM001169William Faulkner source Vintage original pressbook "Press Sheet and AD-SALES Catalogue" UK. Pictorial wrappers 8 pp. 11 ½ x 9 ½" 30 x 24 cm. pages partly coming loose VERY GOOD.<br /><br />1933 pre-Code film based on William Faulkner's 1931 novel <i>Sanctuary</i>. An extremely rare film only shown at festivals on occasion since its release with only one known nitrate print in storage at UCLA. Along with <i>Baby Face </i>made the same year <i>The Story of Temple Drake</i> is one of the most notorious of the films from the pre-Code area so controversial that it was ordered never to be shown again after the Production Code Administration was instituted the following year.<br /><br />The controversy comes straight from Faulkner's source material wherein a wealthy and neurotic Southern belle is trapped in a hideout with a gang of vicious criminal bootleggers. The leader of the gang Trigger lusts after the woman and her subsequent rape is presented in a manner that was unheard of at the time. George Raft under contract to Paramount was assigned the part but found the part repulsive and went to battle with the studio in a suit that nearly cost him his career.<br /><br />This British pressbook has extensive illustrations of the notorious advertising and poster campaign which eventually made the film's release such a troubled one. A rare piece from a film that is legendary in the history of literary adaptation and film censorship. It is very interesting to note a few references to Faulkner in the text as he was not yet a well-known author much less in the UK. Paramount British paperback

Independent film producer Walter Wanger throws a wrap party at the completion of his Paramount-released musical Every Night at Eight on the film's nightclub set and likely on the last day of principal photography; it is rare to find photos showing such events.

She is still in costume; - Ida Lupino who was appearing in and is in costume and makeup for Wanger's production Smart Girl; - William Wellman well-known director writer and producer seemingly between projects; - Alison Skipworth in costume for The Devil is a Woman; - Frances Langford making her feature film debut and debuting her signature song ""I'm In the Mood for Love"". Her costume matches that of Alice Faye; - George Raft lead star of the film and Paramount contract player; - Joan Bennett who would be married to Wanger between 1940-65 and who was appearing in numerous Paramount films in 1935; - Raoul Walsh director of the film; - Bert Hanlon though the verso identifies him as Harry Holman -- the character actor who appeared in over 20 films in 1935 alone including uncredited in this film -- it is incorrect.

192212673St. Louis 1922. Broadside 11.25 x 14.25 inches. Tanned short closed diagonal tear on right edge left edge a bit frayed tiny hip to top right corner otherwise minor edge wear. Fragile but in good condition. An unrecorded promotional broadside recruiting membership in the short-lived Paramount Progressive Order of Moose PPOM an African-American fraternal organization founded in the early-1920s by H.A. Stewart of St. Louis. The organization was created to serve the needs of the African-American community after the Loyal Order of Moose refused to admit Black members. The PPOM was gone by the 1930s following lawsuits from the Loyal Order of Moose who claimed infringement due to the PPOM's use of similar imagery. Still the PPOM offered members a number of benefits during its operations. According to the present broadside which asks "WHY NOT JOIN THE MOOSE" and touts itself as "One of the Most Progressive Orders" above the moose-centric logo at upper center the PPOM was "Now Open to Men and Women Between the Ages of 18 and 50 Years." Members could enjoy "Free Medical Aid" as well as sick and death benefits. Membership was $6 for men and half that for women with women receiving $3 sick benefits as opposed to $5 for men and $150 death benefit men received $200. Potential members are asked to contact the Grad Supervisor but the name city and state for said person is not filled in.

Set of 12 vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm black-and-white photos one with mimeographed text on verso three with the film's title stamped on verso overall just about fine. Josef von Sternberg's first talking film. Some historians credit his importance in the evolution of gangster films with his UNDERWORLD 1927. This was by any standard the first significant talking gangster film. It tells the story of a criminal facing execution who wants to kill the man in the next cell for being in love with his former girlfriend. Sternberg experimented with asynchronous sound effects which served to augment or supplement the visual effects or as he framed the process "To be correctly and effectively used the sound had to bring to the image a quality other than what the lens included a quality out of the range of the image. Sound had to counterpoint or compensate for the image add to it – not subtract from it." Rather than the external and complementary musical accompaniment of silent films Sternberg's scores arise organically with the mise-en-scène and form a key component of the film. The music off-screen does not recede in deference to the on-screen dialogue but competes with it. Off-screen voices comment on the visual action but are not identified visually until later in the film sequence contributing to an "unrealistic cadence" that characterizes the film's dialogue. Film historian Andrew Sarris describes it as "a startling experiment. his use of sound and music for mood effects and the very unreality of his style seems to justify the unusual density of his sound track." Sternberg also uses sound expressionistically such as the erratic start-stop of a sewing machine or the "sinister" squeaking of a dog's ball toy squeezed by the condemned criminal in the hours before his death.
