I know that I’ve read an interview with Wilder after this movie’s unsuccessful theatrical release and was he pissed. I’ll have to look for that. Maybe I’ll post it because I remember it being pretty entertaining.

1930s autographs

Autographs

I can’t recall how I ended up on a vintage autograph collector/dealer’s site but ended up there I did. What we have here are a handful of pages from an autograph book complied during the 1920s and 30s by a Harold Shell, an autograph hound and president of the Helen Mack fan club. He ended up with a pretty nice pile of signatures. Check this site for more. There’s a Houdini on there too.
