N.p.: N.p., 1947. Collection of three vintage slightly oversize borderless double weight photographs from the 1947 film, taken during production in Acapulco, Mexico, two showing a large parrot perched on the camera, and one showing several unknown gaffers standing near large floodlights used during filming. With a printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso, along with a PIX stamp (crediting an unknown photographer, noted in holograph pencil annotation as "Hatch") and a library stamp.
From the archive of the PIX Agency, a photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969.
Based on Sherwood King's 1938 novel "If I Die Before I Wake," following an Irish drifter who finds himself caught between a mysterious woman and her disabled tycoon husband. A lavishly photographed, surreal production, now considered a hallmark of film noir.
Set in San Francisco and New York, shot on location throughout New York City, Guerrero, Mexico, and San Francisco, Sausalito, and San Luis Obispo, California. And on Erroll Flynn's yacht, "Zaca," in the waters near Acapulco.
Two 8.5 x 11 inches, one 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.

Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures, 1947. Three vintage photographs of director Orson Welles from the 1947 film. Photographer's stamp on the versos, and two with mimeo snipes on the versos. Welles promised to write, produce, and direct a film for Columbia Pictures president Harry Cohn in exchange for an emergency $55,000 to help finance costuming for his 1946 Broadway musical "Around the World." The resultant film, based on Raymond Sherwood King's 1938 novel "If I Die Before I Wake," courted controversy, not least due to Welles' decision to have Hayes cut and bleach her iconic red hair for her performance. Although the film was a commercial failure in the US upon release, it is now considered a touchstone of the noir genre. Shot on location in Mexico. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry.

Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures, 1947. Archive of seven vintage single and double weight fashion publicity photographs from the 1947 film. Mimeograph snipe on the verso of a few photos notes the Jean Louis clothing designs for the film. Photographers' rubber stamp also to the versos. Based on the 1938 novel "If I Die Before I Wake" by Sherwood King. Surreal and visually stunning, The Lady from Shanghai tells a quintessential film noir tale of moral chaos, reaching its climax with a shootout in an abandoned hall of mirrors. The collection features photographs of leading lady Rita Hayworth in various stylish outfits, and sporting the controversial short blonde hairstyle that soon-to-be ex-husband Orson Welles forced her to accept for the role. Robert Coburn, who photographed all but one of the images in this collection, was one of the most influential portrait photographers employed by movie studios from the 1930s to 1960s, with his most famous portraits immortalizing Hollywood's greatest…
