Description
Paris: France Cinema, 1961. Nine vintage borderless black-and-white still photographs from the 1961 Italian-French film, here under the original French title, "Les Mongols." Rubber-stamps on the versos, crediting photographer Dorka and street address. Palance and Ekberg are present in a few photos, including two candid images of Ekberg. Housed in brown envelope and fold, both with French film title in manuscript ink on the front. An ambitious entry in the Barbarian and Viking Peplum (sword-and-sandal) canon, set in the twelfth century. Genghis Kahn's son, Ogatai (Palance), and his confidant Hulina (Ekberg), incite an invasion of Poland after a peace treaty, and Amina (Lualdi) is villager without hope who nearly burns alive. Ogatai carries out war to avenge his father and his family's honor. Seasoned director De Toth was no stranger to Westerns, action, or even horror films. His most notable films include "House of Wax" (1953) and "Day of the Outlaw" (1959), films noir "Dark Waters" (1944) and "Pitfall" (1948), and the drug-fueled "Monkey on My Back" (1957). Savona's Western aesthetic would influence his later Euro Westerns, "Rojo" (1966), "Killer Kid" (1967), and "God Will Forgive My Pistol" (1969). 9.25 x 11.5 inches. Near Fine, slight curling.

Description
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. No binding. Near Fine. [Los Angeles: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1938]. Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin print photo. Minor crease at top right corner, near fine. Judy Garland at 15 displays a lovely smile for this portrait used to promote her move to star status. When MGM bought the rights to The Wizard of Oz in late 1937, it was bought to make Garland a star. In preparation for over a year before it went before the cameras, Judy was rushed through three films. The first was a vehicle to move her from the character/juvenile classification to the star roster at MGM. Originally called The Ugly Duckling (to which mother Billie Burke refers to in the script), it was retitled Everybody Sing. Judy sang -- a lot -- but so did everyone else. As Oz was being prepared and she tested various hair, costume and make-ups, she finished this film as well as Love Finds Andy Hardy and Listen, Darling. This portrait was used all through 1938 to promote those films. There is a date stamp on the verso of Nov. 28, 1938.
