Zanuck, the producer of The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), likely didn’t have an in-depth conversation about the source material with Bernard Herrmann before hiring the famed composer to write the score. The movie was based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, a writer Herrmann did not much admire. 'He is one of the best examples of an American writer who started out with much talent, and look what a complete piece of corn he’s been for 25 years,' Herrmann was quoted in 1954, two years after the release of The Snows of Kilimanjaro, comparing Hemingway unfavorably to a British writer like Thomas Hardy. 'He never has a pronouncement to make about the world of any interest, he never has a literary criticism to make, all he’s good to do is talk some more about hunting or getting a new wife, which is his own affair.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn spite of these feelings, Herrmann looked forward to the change in subject matter the assignment would offer him after the brooding noir of On Dangerous Ground (1952) and the dark sci-fi parable The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). 'The sensitive direction of Henry King gave me many opportunities to create music of a highly nostalgic nature, inasmuch as the film deals with the tale of a man who is dying on the African veldt and during the fever of his illness relives much of his emotional past.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, The Snows of Kilimanjaro was a box office hit, if not a runaway critical success; most of the good reviews went to Leon Shamroy’s photography and the composer’s score (it marked Herrmann’s first color film). New York Times critic Bosley Crowther singled out Herrmann’s music, 'singing sadly and hauntingly,' noting how several instruments and themes were as much actors in the work as the flesh-and-blood cast.\" (Rob Nixon, Turner Classic Movies Online)","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093199671455,"sku":"3653","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Herrmann_contract_1748.jpg?v=1722186545"},{"product_id":"3662-bernhardt-sarah-1844-1923-signed-photograph","title":"Bernhardt, Sarah.

In full: \"Dear Miss Moore: It was certainly very nice of you to write and tell me of your interest in my films, and I deeply appreciate the fact that you think them worth seeing six of seven times.  It is always a pleasure to receive a sincere, friendly letter such as yours, and it has been a pleasure to me to read it.  My new release is entitled 'Shoulder Arms' and I hope you will like it even better than 'A Dog's Life.'  In accordance with your request, I am enclosing a photograph of myself.  With best wishes, and many thanks for your interest, I am, Yours sincerely, Charlie Chaplin [signed in black fountain pen ink].\" Sold together with the original enclosed photograph which Chaplin has also boldly signed. Letter with usual folds (one heavy vertical crease), photograph with large diagonal crease and moderate edgewear. Signed material of this kind from the early years of Chaplin's storied career is uncommon and it is unusual to find an original \"enclosed\" photograph which has remained with a letter.  Also including a small collection of 1940's newspaper clippings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A Dog's Life\" (1918) is a silent film written, produced and directed by Chaplin and was his first film for First National Films.  \"Shoulder Arms\" was Chaplin's second film for First National Pictures, a silent comedy set in France during World War I, also featuring Sydney Chaplin, Chaplin's brother.  Chaplin's shortest feature film, it was also his most popular film, critically and commercially, up to that point.  The New York Times review of October 21, 1918 reported: \"'The fool's funny,' was the chuckling observation of one of those who saw Charlie Chaplin's new film, Shoulder Arms, at the Strand yesterday — and, apparently, that's the way everybody felt. There have been learned discussions as to whether Chaplin's comedy is low or high, artistic or crude, but no one can deny that when he impersonates a screen fool he is funny. Most of those who go to find fault with him remain to laugh. They may still find fault, but they will keep on laughing.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093205569695,"sku":"3849","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/ChaplinTLS-SP.jpg?v=1722186582"},{"product_id":"3842-wizard-of-oz-garland-judy-1922-1969-judy-deposits-her-films-in-the-library-of-congress","title":"[Wizard of Oz] Garland, Judy.
