[slight bumping to top of spine, no other discernible wear].

[nice clean copy, with minor wear at the bottom corners, slight wrinkling at left edge of rear cover]. (B&W photographs, ads) This issue's features are: an account of filming the documentary HARVEST in Ethiopia, by the filmmaker Elliot Davis; an interview with director Peter Davis about the making of his Vietnam War documentary HEARTS AND MINDS (which would go on to win the Oscar as the year's best documentary feature); two articles on the production of the TV special "Juice on the Loose," about O.J. Simpson (one of which, by co-producer Richard Rubinstein, goes into great detail abou... View More...
[nice clean copy, faint handling wear only]. (B&W photographs) Another excellent issue of this superb periodical, with Stephen Mamber taking over temporarily as editor from Paul Schrader (credited here as "Editor in absentia," whatever the hell that was about). Contents: two articles, an interview and a filmography devoted to Woody Allen (no doubt some of the earliest serious critical attention he received as a film director; it must have warmed his neurotic little heart to see himself described as "arguably the finest film comedian to have emerged in America since Jerry Lewis"); brief trans...

[nice copy, very light handling wear, virtually as-new]. (B&W photographs) Contents include: a lengthy "chronicle of the events that led up to the collapse of this year's Cannes Festival" (undoubtedly the most tumultuous in the festival's history, caught up as it was in the political crisis that gripped France in May of 1968); an interview with filmmaker Frank Simon, about his documentary film THE QUEEN, about the "All American Beauty Pageant," held in New York in February 1967 to select "America's most beautiful female impersonator"; an examination of the films of writer-director Robert Rosse... View More...
[minor creasing along right edge of front cover, no other significant wear]. (B&W photographs, ads) The second (and possibly final) issue of this short-lived periodical, pitched as "the collectors' guide to classic movies on laserdisc" -- although "ill-timed" might be a better descriptor than "short-lived," since by 1994 the handwriting was already on the wall for the laserdisc: the DVD format was introduced the following year. About half of this magazine's 24 pages (including covers) is devoted to lists of recent releases, with the only really substantive content bein... View More...

Also: a discussion/analysis of STRAW DOGS (Sam Peckinpah); a joint discussion of Arrabal's VIVA LA MUERTE ("a wretched failure of a film") and Alejandro Jodorowsky's EL TOPO ("the fevered work of a genuinely audacious imagination"); a couple of articles devoted to Akira Kurosawa's DODES'KA-DEN, including an interview with the director and a black-and-white reproduction of a poster for the film, drawn by h...

[minor handling wear only, slight age-toning to covers]. (B&W photographs, graphics) This entire issue of this serious-minded (but short-lived) movie fanzine is devoted to actor Buster Crabbe -- famous to movie serial audiences of the 1930s as both Flash Gordon AND Buck Rogers (what are the odds?), and who also was an Olympic gold medalist AND one of the many screen Tarzans -- who is described in an introductory note as "the childhood hero of at least half of our staff." An exclusive interview with Crabbe takes up most of the magazine, which also includes a detailed filmography. An ... View More...
[a reading/reference copy only; the magazine had obviously gotten wet at some point, and is therefore wrinkled and rippled throughout -- although not stained, or smelly, or otherwise blemished, apart from a small price-sticker-removal scar on the front cover].

[nice clean copy, but slightly wrinkled as though it might have absorbed a little moisture at some time (but NOT stained or damaged apart from the wrinkling]. (B&W photographs) The last issue of this magazine to appear under the guidance of its original editor, James Silke (who would be suceeded by Curtis Hanson beginning with the next issue), and like many of its predecessors it's kind of a mishmash, reflecting the publication's fitful efforts to find its footing during its first couple of years. There's some serious cineaste-y content here, including: interviews with directors Richard Brook... View More...
[some scuffing/rubbing to covers, moderate wear along spine, very slight damage at very top of spine; still a decent, clean copy]. (B&W photographs, graphics) The debut issue of what eventually (after some growing pains and various format changes) became one of the leading American critical film journals of its day, producing a total of 35 issues before petering out in the mid-1970s. The first issue looks more than a bit tentative, however; an editorial note describes it as "a graphic magazine of information on the diverse world of film entertainment," but its graphic design overwhelms its v...
