Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1950. Vintage reference photograph from the 1950 film, showing actors Evelyn Varden, Mae Marsh, Charles Halton, and Coleen Townsend. With mimeo snipes affixed to the border of the image, identifying each actor in the photograph, as issued. A small town boy enlists in the Air Force with the hopes of becoming a fighter pilot, but soon finds that his only aptitude is for marksmanship, and as a result he is assigned to a post as a shooting instructor at a base near his hometown. Set in West Virginia, France, Britain, and Germany, and shot on location in Thousand Oaks and Channel Islands, California. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light edgewear and faint toning., Twentieth Century-Fox, 1950, 0, Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1960. Vintage reference photograph from the 1960 Western film. With the stamp of Dell Publishing Company Photo Library to the verso, noting the title of the film, the type of photograph ("STILL"), and a date of APR 11 1960. The first big-budget Western to feature an African American hero (Woody Strode), released just as the US Civil Rights movement was taking hold. Strode masterfully plays an innocent cavalry sergeant accused of killing his commander and the commander's daughter. Though the rest of the cavalry is quick to express its deep-seated racism by the accusation, Strode proves himself the better man by warning them of an upcoming Apache attack. Though it was not one of director John Ford's most popular films, it remains a breakthrough film worthy of his oeuvre. Shot on location in Monument Valley and Mexican Hat, Utah. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with slight wear to the corners and faint soil to the top right corner. Pitts 3776., Warner Brothers, 1960, 0, Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 1996. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/very good. xiv, [2], 307, [5] p. Notes. Sources. List of Interviews. Index. The author provides a fully documented history of the making of the Navy's image on film from the movie industry's earliest days. He goes behind the scenes for deliberations about the potential impact of certain movies on both the military and civilians, and examines the ripple effect of such watershed films as Top Gun, a movie that initially gave the Navy a needed post-Vietnam boost. However, when the Tailhook scandal erupted and the conduct of some aviators was attributed to the "flyboy" image projected in the movie, Top Gun became a liability. Lawrence Suid's inside revelations about the Navy's cinematic input range from pre-World War I to post-Cold War. More than 100 films, as varied as Annapolis and Hunt for Red October, are analyzed for their portrayal of the Navy. The book's focus is on feature films, but relevant documentaries and made-for-television movies are also discussed. Suid draws on original documents from the Department of Defense, National Archives, and private collections, and from interviews with more than 100 filmmakers, naval officers, and government officials., Naval Institute Press, 1996, 3<
