Vintage photograph of F.W. Murnau, cinematographer Floyd Crosby, a sound engineer, and extras on location during shooting of the 1931 film. Considered the first example of "docufiction." The fourth and final film made by Murnau during his time in the US. Murnau and Robert J. Flaherty wrote the unpublished story "Turia," based on a South Sea legend Flaherty had heard while working on W.S. Van Dyke's "White Shadows in the South Seas" (1928), which would later evolve into "Tabu." Two young lovers on the idyllic island of Bora Bora find themselves in danger when an old warrior declares the girl to be the Chosen Maid. Refusing, the lovers run off to a "westernized" island were the boy earns a living as a pearl diver and lands in debt. When the old warrior discovers their location, they plan another escape, requiring the boy paying off his debts by pearl diving in shark-infested waters. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Shot on location in Tahiti and the Leeward Islands (French Polynesia). 5.75 x 3.5 inches. Near Fine, lightly faded. National Film Registry.

Vintage borderless matte-finish reference photograph from the 1922 German silent film, showing actor Alexander Granach in costume as Knock. With the stamp of Primax Film to the verso, and the logo of Prana Film to the bottom right corner of the recto. Prana Film, a silent-era studio founded in 1921, declared bankruptcy shortly after completing "Nosferatu," its only production. Any promotional material from the film is rare. Based on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula." Director F.W. Murnau's expressionist masterpiece was an unauthorized and unofficial adaptation, one that was almost lost when Stoker's widow sued for copyright infringement. The Berlin court ruled that all existing prints of the film were to be burned, destroying all but one copy which had thankfully already been distributed. The surviving print, duplicated many times over the ensuing years, grew in cult status, and is today considered one of the most influential silent releases of all time. Shot on location throughout Germany, Sweden, and Slovakia. 8.5 x 10 inches. Very Good plus overall, with pinholes to the corners and a small splash to the left edge. BFI 520. Ebert I. Eureka 70.
