1 COCTEAU, JEAN, HENRI ALEKAN, ROBERT HAMMOND La Belle et la Bete. Un Film de Jean Cocteau. Photographies et Commentaires d'Henri Alekan. Texte Etabli et Annote par Robert Hammond (ISBN: 2909450090 / 2-909450-09-0)
Paris Editions du Collectionneur 1992 
First Edition. Oversize format, 286 pages. Gift inscription in French. Text in French. Preface by Jean Marais. Postface by Mila Parely. Illustrated throughout with gorgeous photos from the classic 1946 French romantic fantasy film La Belle et la Bete (Beauty and the Beast) written and directed by French poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau, starring Jean Marais (as the Beast), Josette Day (as Belle), and Mila Parely. The book follows the film step by step in image and in text. With a tipped-in full-color illustration of a poster for the film showing the lovely Belle looking up toward the face of the Beast with a sumptuous table set with a feast in the foreground. Near fine copy with a barely visible trace of a dampstain to the cloth at the rear board not affecting the interior in a fine dust jacket. The film is an adaptation of the traditional fairy tale of the same name, written by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont and published in 1757 as part of a fairy tale anthology (Le Magasin des Enfants, ou Dialogues entre une sage gouvernante et ses eleves, London 1757). The plot of Cocteau's film centers around Belle's father who is sentenced to death for picking a rose from the Beast's garden. In the process, the Beast falls desperately in love with her, and in time, she returns his affections. A terrific book which beautifully captures the essence of Cocteau's film.

3 WELLES, ORSON, JEAN COCTEAU & ANDRE BAZIN Orson Welles. A Portrait of Orson Welles by Jean Cocteau and Andre Bazin
Paris Chavane 1950 
First Edition. Signed and inscribed by the author, French film critic and theorist, Andre Bazin: Òa Pierre Robin, Amicalement. A. Bazin, 28/1/50.Ó [ÓFor Pierre Robin, In friendship. A. Bazin, 28/1/50.Ó] Paperbound, 5Ó x 6 1/2Ó. Text in French. Near fine copy with a touch of dust soiling to the covers in printed wrappers. Illustrated study of Orson Welles by two major figures in cinema history, the great artist and writer Jean Cocteau, whose line drawing of Welles serves as the frontispiece, and by Andre Bazin (1918 - 1958), one of the most influential film critics and authors of modern times, and co-founder of the classic French film publication, Le Cahiers du Cinema, in 1951. Andre Bazin's four-volume collection of writings, Qu'est-ce que le cinŽma? [What is Cinema?], was published posthumously from 1958 to 1962. Two of these volumes were translated into English in the late 1960s and 1970s and became mainstays of film studies in the US and England. Bazin was an advocate of films that portrayed "objective reality" (as in documentaries and films of the Italian neorealism school) and directors who crafted their films with a subtle hand (such as Howard Hawks). He favored the use of deep focus, such as employed by Orson Welles, wide shots, as used by Jean Renoir, the "shot-in-depth", and telling the story of the film in a continuous narrative, as opposed to the more experimental styles and visual effects which were becoming popular. His theories and preferences greatly influenced the development of the Auteur theory. Francois Truffaut dedicated his classic film The 400 Blows to Bazin, who sadly died one day after shooting commenced on the film. A rare cinema autograph.
