Germany: Atlas Films, 1971. Original early 1970s German A1 poster for a re-release of the 1955 French film. From the collection of noted film historian Amos Vogel. Full provenance available. The greatest film that Alfred Hitchcock never made, Henri-Georges Clouzot's Diabolique is set in a provincial boarding school run by headmaster Michel Delasalle (Paul Meurisse). A ruthless Lothario, he becomes the target of a murder plot concocted by his long-suffering invalid wife Christina (Vera Clouzot, the director's own spouse) and his latest mistress, an icy teacher played by Simone Signoret. A dark, dank thriller with a much-imitated "shock" ending, "Diabolique" is a masterpiece of Grand Guignol suspense. The simple murder plot goes haywire, and Michel's corpse disappears, prompting strange rumors of his reappearance which grow more and more substantial as the film careens wildly towards its breathless conclusion. 23 x 33 inches, non-archivally mounted on board. Moderate rubbing and light staining,… Read More

Paris: Inter Nos", 1943-1945. A COMPLETE SET--PERHAPS UNIQUE--OF THE FOUR BOOKS PUBLISHED BY "INTER NOS" IN PARIS DURING WORLD WAR TWO, THE FIRST TWO OF WHICH WERE ISSUED DURING THE OCCUPATION. The first three are EXTREMELY RARE because of the tiny edition sizes (by the time the fourth was published, the Germans had surrendered, so a somewhat larger edition could be printed). While many livres d'artiste were printed in France under the Occupation, they were subject to Nazi censorship, and thus limited themselves to uncontroversial subject-matter. "INTER NOS", as the name implies ("among us", in Latin), was the only organization (in fact a small group of friends) that published clandestine livres d'artiste, with texts and illustrations depicting graphic sex and sadistic violence. *****(1) Edouard Peisson, "Hans le marin" (1943), with 22 origlnal etchings by Paul-Louis Guilbert. EDITION LIMITED TO 17 COPIES PRINTED ON FINE WOVE PAPER, OF WHICH THIS IS ONE OF ONLY FIVE "EXEMPLAIRES DE… Read More
