Description:
Beverly Hills, CA: Associated Film Releasing Corporation, 1956. Vintage US pressbook for the 1956 British film noir, originally released by Hammer Films in the UK as "Women Without Men" and retitled "Blonde Bait" for the US release. An interesting B-noir from the Poverty Row canon. Associated Film Releasing re-edited "Women Without Men," a 1956 Hammer Films production, with Beverly Michaels as a prison stool pigeon, but edited in Jim Davis as a murderous traitor (Paul Carpenter held the same role for its release in the UK). 12 x 14 inches. Very Good plus, with several short tears at one edge, and light stressing to the folds.

Description:
Glendale, CA: Allied Artists, 1954. Shooting script for the 1955 film noir, here under the working title "Code 3," with the working title crossed through on the front wrapper and "Dial Red O" written above it twice, once in manuscript pencil and once in manuscript ink. Copy belonging to an uncredited crew member, with annotations throughout in red pencil, primarily noting locations or props. The first in a series of five noir entries, made between 1955-1957, featuring Bill Elliott as a detective lieutenant in the L.A. Sheriff's department. In the first two films in the series (including this one) the character's name is Andy Flynn, and for the remaining three films his name was changed to Andy Doyle, as it turned out there was an actual officer named Andy Flynn working in L.A. law enforcement at the time. One of the best examples of the well crafted low-budget crime films produced by Allied Artists, the B-movie studio that emerged from the Poverty Row studio Monogram Pictures in 1952.

Description:
N.p.: N.p., 1920. Vintage reference photograph from the 1926 film. Photograph shot at high film speed, showing a roadster jumping a train crossing, with the train approaching, seconds before (possible) impact. The astute viewer will note that the guard rail has not yet been broken. With a lengthy annotation in manuscript pencil on the verso, regarding guerilla production techniques taken by Poverty Row studios during the 1920s. An stunning photograph capturing a split-second moment from a common trope of early action cinema - motorists escaping capture by deftly crossing train tracks, narrowly avoiding collision with an oncoming train. The production number in the bottom left of the photograph, "4296," matches known photographs from the lost 1925 action serial film "The Scarlet Streak," directed by Henry MacRae, and starring Jack Dougherty and Lola Todd. Just as fascinating is the extensive annotation on the verso: "Poverty Row crews were accustomed to film stories in the 1920s streets. The… Read More

Description:
Los Angeles: Lippert Pictures, 1952. Draft script for the 1952 film. Copy belonging to an uncredited crew member, with brief annotations in manuscript pencil on the verso of the last page of text, and on a few pages. An unusual story for a low-budget Western: a tough woman gambler named Iron Mae McLeod (Windsor) runs a town where law states that men are illegal. The tough McLeod is soon caught in the lusty lasso of Woody Callaway (Rober), a handsome and persistent cowboy. The Poverty Row studio, Lippert Pictures, lasted nearly two decades (1948-1969), and would resurface as the production company for "Don't Do It" (1994). Notable films produced or distributed by Lippert include "Jungle Goddess" (1948), "I Shot Jesse James" (1949), forgotten films noir like "Radar Secret Service" and "Motor Patrol" (both 1950), Samuel Fuller's "The Steel Helmet" (1951), Sam Newfield's "Lost Continent" (1951), and Terence Fisher's classic Hammer noir, "Man Bait" (1952). Blue untitled wrappers. Title page integral… Read More
