Three vintage studio still photographs from the 1935 film. Based on William Makepeace Thackeray's 1848 novel, "Vanity Fair." Based on Thackeray's classic novel, the film was the first feature length film to be shot with the three-strip Technicolor technique. However, the poorly written script made the film rather unsuccessful commercially. Miriam Hopkins was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good, with light creasing overall, black manuscript annotations to the verso, and a small tan piece of paper affixed to the verso of image BS-73. Images vary slightly in size due to cropping.

Art / Print / Poster First Edition
No Binding. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. A Finnish first-screening cinema poster for the Darrel F. Zanuck movie, Blood and Sand starring Tyrone Power, Rita Hayworth, Linda Darnell and Anthony Quinn. The film was released in Finland in 1942 and had no subsequent theatrical runs thereafter. This poster has a few condition issues including some damp-staining and nicks to the edges. Cinema-used and therefore with pinholes at the corners and at the top left there is minor loss of paper. Folds still quite visible. Between Fair and Good condition, extremely scarce.

With the stamp of still photographer Kenneth Alexander on the verso. Based on Leo Tolstoy's 1899 novel "Resurrection." A Russian prince seduces an innocent young servant, leading to her pregnancy and subsequent termination from her job, forcing her into a life of poverty and degradation.

Set in Moscow. 7.5 x 9.5 inches. Very Good plus overall.

Vintage film program for the 1933 film. With a striking image of Dietrich on the front wrapper, and much detail throughout regarding the production. Based on the novel by Hermann Suermann and the play by Edward Sheldon, about a country orphan who goes to Berlin to live with her aunt and who becomes the model for a handsome sculptor. Director Rouben Mamoulian made the film simply and without artifice, a great departure from Dietrich's work with Josef von Sternberg. Filmed and released prior to the stringent Production Code, the filmmakers were allowed to display the full nude statue of Dietrich on the program's cover, for which she reportedly posed. An interesting example of Hollywood's attempts to recreate on US soil the Berlin that Marlene Dietrich came from, onscreen a beautiful place, in reality a city that ultimately rejected her. In addition to the photos and biographical information, the program contains a detailed and interesting essay to this effect, "Again a Gay and Friendly Berlin," with several photographs of cameras, Mamoulian, and Dietrich on the set. Two-color wrappers, 16 pages, saddle-stapled. Near Fine.
