"FLOODS OF FEAR" 1959, Howard Keel, Anne Heywood, Escaped convicts hole up in a literally falling-apart house to escape extreme floods with not unpredictable melodrama ensuing. But what keeps the film moving along, like the constant menacing waves always inches from the screen, is its interesting series of twists and turns once the initial setup passes. And the special effects are an often brilliant mix of miniatures, intense live action and stock footage; a palpable sense of menace and fear hangs over the entire film, very good to excellent shape, b&w, $100

Screen caps from the print

KING OF KINGS  Cecil B. Demille's  elaborate 1927 silent film has extreme energy, its range of terrific performances, and, just its considerable beauty as a superbly crafted silent film.

 The King of Kings remains one of Hollywood’s most remarkable achievements. The sound is in the RCA Photophone System, A trade name given to one of four major competing technologies that emerged in the American film industry in the late 1920s for synchronizing electronically recorded audio to a motion picture image. RCA Photophone was a variable-area film exposure system. It has a full musical score and sound and choral effects.The first movie that premiered at the legendary Cinema Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, on May 18, 1927. Original print is in very good shape with beautiful contrast and runs 115 minutes with all credits. Black and white- $150

MOONLIGHT SONATA- 1937 Charles Farrell, Ignacy Jan Paderewski. wonderful movie for classical music lovers, film almost plays as a historical record of the famous pianist Ignace Paderewski's marvellous playing. Charles Farrell and Barbara Greene are the romantic leads and the tale revolves around the survivors of a plane crash who are guests of the aristocratic Baroness Lindenborg (Marie Tempest). Original print is in very good shape- $95      


            

ON THE AVENUE- 1936, Dick Powell, Madelline Carrill, Alice Faye The Ritz Brothers  music and lyrics composed by the legendary Irving Berlin, "He Ain't Got Rhythm" (sung by Alice Faye, and The Ritz Brothers); "The Girl On the Police Gazette"(sung by Dick Powell in 1890s attire, bowler and mustache); "You're Laughing at Me" (sung by Powell to Madeleine Carroll); "This Year's Kisses" (sung by Faye); "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" (sung by Powell and Faye); "Slumming on Park Avenue" (Sung by Alice Faye and The Ritz Brothers); "You're Laughing at Me" (Powell); "Ochye Tchonia"(Russian Folk Song sung and performed by The Ritz Brothers); "This Year's Kisses'" (sung by Alice Faye); and "Slumming in Park Avenue"(sung by cast).

 The Outsider- 1961, Tony Curtis, James Francisco, the true story of Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who became a US Marine and was one of the famous flag raisers on Mt. Surabachi at Iwo Jima. The movie goes into Hayes life after the war as well but unlike many movies of the genre, the story and acting do not lose any steam. In fact, the emotional intensity seems to deepen. Tony Curtis, who is a WW2 navy veteran {submariner}, gives what I feel is his best performance ever. This story of a simple and fundamentally good man, thrust into a big and dangerous world, TV print is in excellent shape- $85

UNDER THE ROOFS OF PARIS The first French "Talkie"  René Clair's early sound films are amongst the best ever made. Le Million (1931), Quatorze Juillet (1933), and Under the Roofs of Paris (1930) are masterpieces of musical comedy and romance. Under the Roofs of Paris is the loose but good story of a young street singer (Albert Préjean) who falls in love with a girl (Pola Illéry). He has an uneasy relationship with a couple of pickpockets (including Gaston Modot, who also made L'Âge d'or with Buñuel the same year) who like to work when he's demonstrating his talent.

 

Under the Roofs of Paris blazes the trail in France, like the Jazz Singer did in the U.S.,  the first French "talkie." Clair wisely played his strongest hand in creating this landmark film, finding clever ways to weave musical themes throughout the picture and making strategic use of his limited opportunities to attach dialog and other sound effects to the moving images. Since sound technology was still being perfected and was presumably too expensive to include on every foot of film in the reel, we still encounter frequent stretches where nothing is heard, even when the characters talk to each other Original Print is in excellent shape, picture quality is very

good to excellent. Complete with all opening and closing credits plus exit music. Print is SUBTITLED in French

    $300


             

ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE, 1981 George Hamilton, Brenda Vaccaro,

Great "Zorro"  PARODY movie that has George Hamilton playing dual roles. The first role, being the suave Don Diego and the second role being the not so straight Bunny (Diego's twin brother) Wigglesworth . After a leg injury to Diego it is up to Bunny to keep the peace. A hilarious parody/action-adventure/comedy that works because of quite possibly George Hamilton's greatest performance and a super supporting cast which includes the priceless Ron Leibman, Brenda Vaccaro and Lauren Hutton. Definitely unique to other "Zorro" films.

 

Mylar print is basically in excellent shape, has stunning LPP low fade color, alot of prints are faded Eastman color is uncut with all beginning and end titles, has only 4 splices, has the usual light emulsion line or two hear and there,   $150
