<p>BTW, the Bankhead is 5x7 (the above image is not in scale), and was had on eBay for a small amount with Best Offer. It was from a decent dealer who described this as in rather poor and creased condition. It arrived as the scan they sent me showed - razor sharp, near mint with matte finish on double weight paper. Only minor silvering if that, with fresh ink.</p>

<p>I am happy to note I found this (signed) photo of Tallulah Bankhead reproduced in the Danish Lifeboat program so clearly used to promote the film. :) The signature dates to 1944/45 from those at Thecead.com (the film was 1944) so all good.</p>

<p>PS - Seeing it completed I sure hope it frames well. The theory was to show many formats tied together with the cast still - how that works in practice...</p>

<p>Thanks Scott :) I am really happy with it. I had another Bankhead but swapped it out maybe 2 years ago and then found this which seems to be actually from Lifeboat. The candids were Zane (Slezak and Hodiak), the Bendix from another candid collector and the cut Cronyn also Zane/Kinnes. Werewolf of London is a great little gem! Rear Window is also rich with texture if a bit uneven, but the color and set compensate easily. As far as b/w films, I now prefer them - all this IMAX 3-D handheld…</p>

As far as b/w films, I now prefer them - all this IMAX 3-D handheld digital stuff exploding sends me screaming. I went to the movies just once in the last 15 years or so and left quickly - Star Trek 2009.

<p>That is an amazing accomplishment Eric. Canada Lee is extremely difficult since he was so young when he died. Henry Hull was indeed the first to play a werewolf in <em>Werewolf of London</em> with the great Warner Oland (better known as Charlie Chan). This is also a favorite movie of mine sadly being in black and white so many young people refuse to watch. You mention Hitchcock my favorite movie of his is Rear Window.

<p>It is - one heck of a film. I am not crazy about Hitchcock - Rear Window I like and a few others. But this one has a quality that goes further than the basic period Hitch formula (<em>we</em> know that is not a pocket watch Willie has and they don't...at first). It is a style or feeling perhaps, it goes well beyond being "trapped" in a small boat with strangers/friends/enemies.</p>

<p>Thanks Joe. Oddly, this film is like a little island unto itself. Great escape. Well, apart from the drama and wonderful idea, there is a little of Gus, Joe, Ritt and Connie in everyone I think. Let's leave Willie out of it. The casting is so perfect it is as if Welles himself did it. As for the project itself it was just to experience handling the different forms we collect. And, most all were on a dime. Lee was $5 with the ticket attached. BTW, these two may be the only cuts I own. </p>
