1925136632London: John Hamilton 1925. First Edition. First Edition. Rare in or out of jacket. <br/><br/>Pulp thriller in which a journalist and a detective battle the Expropriation Society a criminal organization whose ostensible goal is the establishment of a worldwide communist utopia. The Society's seemingly impossible crimes are the results of an insane doctor's careful use of post-hypnotic suggestions on his unsuspecting patients. Macabre elements include a corrupt industrialist who psychologically tortures his young wife with his collection of snakes and a criminal mastermind who is determined to revenge himself on a romantic rival by injecting the young man with a strain of leprosy. While much of "The Devil That Slumbers" is routine commercial fare the concluding chapter of the novel prefigures the lurid weird menace scenarios of the Shudder Pulps of the 1930s. <br/><br/>Rear board mottled else Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. Jacket is chipped with the "T" in "The" on the front panel missing with a few short closed tears light creasing and a dampstain to the verso of the front panel. John Hamilton unknown books

WALTER-FILM002150No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 41 x 81"" 103 x 203 cm. three sheet poster USA. Steve McQueen Robert Vaughn Jacqueline Bisset Don Gordon Robert Duvall dir: Peter Yates; Warner Brothers. The classic 1960s action-crime thriller with an iconic performance by Steve McQueen playing the San Francisco cop who becomes obsessed with finding the underground leader responsible for the deaths of witnesses in his protection. Here is one of the finest and most rare posters for this classic title. This example does not appear to have ever been used. Prior to expert linen backing it showed only very minor shelf wear and shows just minor shelf wear such as three minor fold juncture separations a bit of creasing at the very edges and a few minor spots of soiling in the white background. What makes this poster particularly desirable is the fact that the colors match correctly although this poster does not turn up much -- when it occasionally does very often the bottom section has colors which are misaligned with the rest and that most often requires restoration with paint. This copy is unrestored with great nicely matched colors and all the very minor original issues have been attended to in conservation. The poster is now just about as clean and bright an example as possible FINE. 10000.00 unknown books

WALTER-FILM000350No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 41 x 27"" 103 x 68 cm. one sheet poster USA. Humphrey Bogart Lauren Bacall Agnes Moorehead Bruce Bennett Tom d'Andrea; dir.: Delmer Daves; Warner Bros. A much darker journey into the film noir realm for Bogart and Bacall than their early wildly successful BIG SLEEP this time from a lurid David Goodis novel of a man Bogart wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife rescued by a concerned courtroom spectator Bacall and who must change his notorious face through back-door plastic surgery in order to find the real killer. One of the truly great films of this now-revered genre as well as one of the best period films set in and depicting San Francisco. Bogart hid is face from camera for more than half of the film something which did not please WB head Jack Warner! The film fell off at the box office as it was released right at the time that the Bogart's received negative press because of their support for the Committee for the First Amendment during the heated House Un-American Activities Committee hearings. Beautiful rich color rare on this poster which has been mounted on linen. There has been just minimal fold and corner touch-up minor crease at bottom left corner and a few scuffs in white background addressed NEAR FINE. unknown books
WALTER-FILM000493No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 81 x 41"" 203 x 103 cm. three sheet poster USA. Clint Eastwood Andrew Robinson John Vernon Reni Santoni Harry Guardino dir: Don Siegel; Warner Brothers. The now classic crime thriller about San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan who has little regard for rules but who gets results. In this tale he is tracking down serial killer Scorpio who snipes his victims at random. Clint Eastwood in his iconic role of the paradoxical Dirty Harry basically an outlaw but deeply moral at the same time only won the role because originally-cast Frank Sinatra injured his hand. One of the best poster images for this great film and one of the hardest to find with its life-size image of Harry holding up a gun. On linen. There has been a little touch-up along fold lines and to relieve a couple of marginal stains VERY GOOD-FINE. unknown books

WALTER-FILM000231Softcover/Paperback. Very Good. Book Vintage original 17 x 11"" 43 x 29 cm. pressbook; folio pictorial wrappers 24 pp. USA. Dick Powell Adolphe Menjou Gloria Stuart Alice Brady Hugh Herbert Glenda Farrell dir: Busby Berkeley; Warner Brothers. Post-Production Code musical extravaganza was small on plot this time with a mother attempting to marry her daughter off to a millionaire while staying at a posh hotel -- but the film was huge in production numbers. These were some of Busby Berkeley's most sophisticated intricate and best. Amongst them were ""The Words Are In My Heart"" and the iconic ""Lullaby of Broadway."" By 1935 Warner Brothers had branded the ""Gold Digger"" franchise and the promotion was as spectacular as the films. Wonderful fun in these pages of exploitation production details and accessories. There are a variety of still campaigns articles including those on the previous Berkeley films song sheets novelties of Warner Brothers stars and posters for the film. Gold foil cover in good condition there is tape along the binding edge and a crease at the top right corner. Pages are all in fine condition and fully intact ABOUT FINE. paperback books

WALTER-FILM000419No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 12 x 8"" 30 x 20 cm. midget/mini window card poster USA. Bette Davis Humphrey Bogart Lola Lane Isabel Jewell Mayo Methot Jane Bryan dir: Lloyd Bacon; Warner Brothers. Brilliant tale of hostesses told with as much candor as post-Production Code Hollywood was allowed. Working girl Bette Davis displays herself in one of her most glamorous gowns on this fine Warner Brothers poster of the period. The beaded gown represented in red on this card was made for her by Orry-Kelly. This is the film which marked Bette Davis' return to Warner Brothers after she walked out on the studio fed up with the weak roles they were giving her. She got her wish in this role. Here she plays Mary Dwight the cynical world-weary hostess of a club run by gangsters. Living with the other hostesses of the club her kid sister comes to visit and the truth of their means of living must be hidden. The woman are constantly being hauled into headquarters and questioned about their bosses. Davis' character is beaten by them to keep quiet. But then her kid sister is murdered and she unravels to the district attorney Humphrey Bogart. A classic crime melodrama. Wonderful rich colors. Very minor creases. Tow tears at the right side of the card have been reinforced with archival tape. One is in the lower area of her hair and the other just below her arm. Pin holes at each of the four corners have been filled in and reinforced with archival tape. Two small tears at the bottom have also been reinforced with archival tape. The top blank area of the card has been trimmed NEAR FINE. unknown books
WALTER-FILM000270No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 22 x 28"" 55 x 70 cm. half sheet poster USA. Barbara Stanwyck Fred MacMurray dir: Roy Rowland; Warner Brothers. What a piece of 3-D graphic imagery this is with both Stanwyck and MacMurray bursting out of the screen! Stanwyck is presented far more seductively than her actual character for which she was blonde but that's what filmmakers felt it took to draw the audience into the theatre during this time when audiences started to stay home to take part in the new revolution: television. This was the third of four films Stanwyck and MacMurray teamed for -- their chemistry established with Double Indemnity nearly 10 years before. Though the Western was now exploring psychological themes the script offered little challenge to these great actors -- but the 3-D effects had entertainment value. The art is quite fun and the poster on linen is in fine condition. It does not appear to have been folded. A few tears were addressed including a very small one at the near bottom left edge and one inner tear above the ""n"" of ""Moonlighter"" in the title treatment and a small tear at the top of ""K"" in ""Stanwyck.""
