Five vintage studio still photographs from the 1969 film. A semi-documentary dramatization of the violence that surrounded the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and a film that questions the politics inherent in journalism and image-making, "Medium Cool" is a remarkable directorial accomplishment, highlighting the political unrest of the late 1960s, in part by using real footage. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine, one uniformly faded.

Vintage oversize borderless photograph of actress Jane Fonda speaking into a microphone at an antiwar demonstration in Washington DC on May 10, 1970, issued in conjunction with the 1974 documentary film. With the stamp of Gamma photo agency and layout annotations in manuscript pencil on the verso. Fonda proved one of Hollywood's most prominent antiwar activists during the Vietnam era, and one of the period's more politically active celebrities, speaking out in support of the Black Panthers and the feminist movement, and working extensively with Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The same year, Fonda would tour with Fred Gardner and Arnold Sutherland in the Free The Army tour, an antiwar road show designed as a counterpoint to Bob Hope's USO shows. In July 1972, the actress would visit Hanoi with a group of activists, teachers, and pastors, recording a series of broadcasts on Hanoi Radio describing the events of her visit and criticizing US military policy-views which led to extensive backlash from many Americans, and earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane" among many Vietnam servicemen. 12 x 8 inches. Very Good plus.

Vintage reference photograph from the 1969 film, showing Haskell Wexler capturing a scene with Robert Forster. Annotations in manuscript pencil on the verso. A hardened and dubiously ethical television cameraman finds out he is being watched by the FBI amidst the tumultuous protests taking place around the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Highly influential for its groundbreaking use of factual historical events interspersed with fictional narrative, and its frank depiction of the contemporary countercultural movement. Featuring early music by Frank Zappa's band Mothers of Invention. Due to its startlingly political narrative, as well as nudity and language, the film was originally given an X rating by the MPAA, though by 1970 this would be downgraded to an R. 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine. Criterion Collection 658. Spicer US Neo-Noir.

A hardened and dubiously ethical television cameraman finds out he is being watched by the FBI amidst the tumultuous protests taking place around the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Highly influential for its groundbreaking use of factual historical events interspersed with fictional narrative. Featuring early music by Frank Zappa's band Mothers of Invention, and addressing underlying social issues of race, gender, and poverty, the film frankly depicted much of the growing countercultural movement of the late 1960s, even going so far as to use real-life footage of civil disobedience occurring in 1968 Chicago. Due to its startlingly political narrative, as well as nudity and language, the film was originally given an X rating by the MPAA, though by 1970 this would be downgraded to an R. One photograph 10 x 8 inches, one photograph 9.5 x 7.25 inches. Near Fine. Criterion Collection 658. Spicer US Neo-Noir.
