(SILKE, JAMES R., ED.)

Cinema [Magazine] [1962] [First Issue]

Hollywood CA: James R. Silke, [1962]. (Vol. 1, No. 1). Periodical. [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 36 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 very thin editorial content. The features of this issue, such as they are, are primarily pictorial: "On Location with LAWRENCE OF ARABIA"; "The Pagan Bardot," a rather silly feature with drawings (by Guy Deel) of Brigitte Bardot costumed (or not) as various legendary ladies (Cleopatra, Theodora, Venus, etc.); a 7-page spread on EL CID; a two-page spread about John Cassavetes, with a few pithy quotes but not much else; a pictorial feature on the women characters' costumes in KING OF KINGS; brief "previews" of 16 upcoming releases. It's worth mentioning that noted photographer William Claxton is credited on the masthead as "Feature Photographer," although the magazine contains only one photograph (a sort of artsy shot of Cassavetes) attributed to him.. Very Good .

Cinema [Magazine] [1962] [Cover: Lola Albright]

Hollywood CA: Spectator International, [1962]. (Vol. 1, No. 3). Periodical. [moderate handling wear, light external soiling, small scribble (several numerals) on rear cover; tightly bound at staples]. (B&W photographs) Very early issue of this important film magazine, which attempted to balance coverage of American and European films, and also throw in a little sex, in this instance via cheesecakey shots of Elke Sommer and Lola Albright, and a dual pictorial feature on GYPSY and MADAME, highlighting the physical attributes of their respective stars, Natalie Wood and Sophia Loren. Other contents include: "Hollywood...Still an Empty Tomb: An Interview with Robert Aldrich" (quite likely the first serious interview with Aldrich to appear in an American publication); an interview with actor Dean Stockwell; a pictorial feature on actress Lola Albright (the cover story); a "Heritage" feature about Douglas Fairbanks's ROBIN HOOD (1922); an article by Joseph E. Levine, "Dead the Movie Industry is Not!"; a photo-and-text feature on "Elke Sommer, Celluloid Pagan"; a "Personalities" page with brief profiles of Claudia Cardinale, Toshiro Mifune, Horst Buchholz and Agnes Laurent; brief news bits, mostly about upcoming films; reviews of a dozen films currently in release, including JULES AND JIM (Francois Truffaut), VIRIDIANA (Luis Bunuel), WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (Aldrich) and RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY (Sam Peckinpah). [NOTE that this issue bears absolutely no date whatsoever, but the contents indicate that it came out late in 1962.]. Very Good+ .
