Aggiungi al carrello1st printing (presumed). Bifolium, so 4 pages. A program, reproducing the poster image, with the production credits, cast list and a statement by Strick "On the Film and the Book". 8vo. 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" "The most important novel of the 20th Century now comes to the screen with all its frank, bold, searing insight into the heart a…nd mind of man." [front cover blurb]. Strick embraced the challenge of being the first to adapt Joyce's masterpiece into film, taking motivation from the many doubters and naysayers who thought him a fool for trying it. He initially aimed to film the entire novel, word for word, in an epic production that would have run nearly twenty hours. Unable to secure any funding for such a project, he had to reduce it two hours. Shot in contemporary 1960s Dublin with a superb cast of Irish actors including Milo O'Shea as Leopold Bloom, Barbara Jefford as Molly Bloom, Maurice Roeves as Stephen Dedalus, and T.P. McKenna as Buck Mulligan, it took Strick three years to complete the film, which was released in New York in March of 1967. It generated immediate controversy and was censored at the Cannes festival and in Britain, and entirely banned in Ireland until 2000. (Although barred from theatrical release, private clubs were able to screen the film for Irish audiences). Famously, it was the first film in the U.K. to contain the word "fuck." Nor was it especially warmly received by critics or the community of Joyceans. In later years, however, appreciation has grown for Strick's achievement. While Strick and Haines are the only credited writers, Strick leaned heavily on his old friend the legendary film editor (and co-director of "The Savage Eye") Sidney Meyers as a script consultant and Meyers was largely responsible for Molly Bloom's final monologue. Despite its inevitable omissions, the film hewed closely to the novel and to Joyce's language throughout. Here offered a scarce piece of Joyce memorabilia. Modest wear & age-toning. Hint of 'waviness'. An Abt VG copy of this rare survivor from half a century ago. Now housed in a clear archival mylar sleeve.
