With holograph annotations regarding layout on the verso. <br/><br/>A charming surreal revisionist Western comedy an unusual move for Peckinpah as it was released on the heels of "The Wild Bunch" 1969 and just prior to "Straw Dogs" 1971 both famed for being the high spots of the director's famed odes to violence and male madness.

WALTER-FILM000879No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 18 x 23 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo USA. Bette Davis Warren William Alison Skipworth Arthur Treacher dir: William Dieterle; Warner Brothers. After being nominated in 1934 and winning an Academy Award in 1935 Warner Brothers continued to cast Bette Davis in mediocre roles and films. So fed up was she that she sailed for England in 1936 after a suspension for refusing a role. Her intent was to work there; Warner stopped her and she sued. Though she lost the suit the studio did slowly secure better roles in finer productions over the course of 1937 and 1938. Given top production value and costuming Orry-Kelly this film is loosely based on Dashiell Hammett's THE MALTESE FALCON but this time the detective story is handled more as a comedy. What the film did for Davis at a time when she was being cast in heavy melodrama was give her a chance at playing comedy which she proved very adept. In a lighthearted moment Davis is seen with co-star Warren William. The photo is coded ""MH-111"". The borders are lightly trimmed for publication ABOUT FINE. unknown books

1982140408Burbank CA: Walt Disney Productions 1982. Collection of six vintage film still photographs three of which are borderless from the French release of the groundbreaking 1982 film. Featuring an image of Jeff Bridges and Cindy Morgan in their Grid bodysuits as well as various images of computer graphics that represent the Grid. <br/><br/>Jeff Bridges plays a game designer who ends up in the very game he's been programming and who must defeat the computer-generated image of his money-grubbing employer. The pinnacle of computer graphics technology at the time a hybrid of back-lit live action and computer-generated visuals "TRON" was one of the first of many films to reflect the burgeoning video game craze of the 1980s. The creation of these hybrid graphics took the work of at least four distinct graphics firms with over 550 people involved in post-production work. <br/><br/>While critically acclaimed for its flashy visual spectacle "TRON" fared more poorly at the box office than the studio expected though in time the film would escape its cult status and become the highly-lauded landmark in science fiction film history that it had always been. Nominated for two Academy Awards. Shot on location in California. <br/><br/>7 x 9.5 inches. Fine condition. Walt Disney Productions unknown books
