Greetings! 1st Post! Bela Lugosi "Reel X" Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda? 1953 55mm Nitrate Print

Greetings! Happy to join :)

I don't have a Lugosi autograph yet as I am not done studying him fully. Instead, I have this :)

I wanted something very unusual to represent Bela and Ed Wood (both very hard signatures, often forged. WHO would forge this?  HOW?  Gotta be tougher than a signature ) - this is it. I believe this is more...potent than a Lugosi signature.  It is him on original film.  The 35mm master of "Reel X" with soundtrack & negatives/positives.  From producer George Weiss's collection w/paperwork from a 1970 cleaning - quite possibly sold to him by Ed Wood for $1 so Ed could buy some cheap Scotch.  These stories are recorded. Original Pathe tins.  1952/53 DuPont film, date coded.  Full R&R letter.  I think this is one heck of a Lugosi/Wood item!  I screened it for Bela Jr. at his request at DuArt in NYC (Taxi Driver etc.). Private theater with four recliners and a full screen.  Bela Jr. was not there and was not very familiar with this portion of his fathers work and had me impersonate his fathers lines over the phone ("PULL THE STRINGK!")!  I got an "A+"!  Cool!  One of my best memories.  It was really super.  And it looked INCREDIBLE. Sharp, rich lights...intense meaningful darks...  I am told this is the finest un-cropped original print and I have asked Madacy to Olen Ray and in between.  It looks like a Hurrell when printed.  I made the scans above myself (NOT easy).  I hope you enjoy them!
