JUDY GARLAND | I COULD GO ON SINGING (1963) Performing “It Never Was You”

Vintage original 9 x 7″ (23 x 18 cm.) borderless single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA. Judy Garland, Dirk Bogarde, Jack Klugman, Aline MacMahon, Gregory Phillips, dir: Ronald Neame; United Artists. A very fine glossy print, fine.

Judy Garland’s satisfying swan song film. Originally titled (and released in Europe) as The Lonely Stage, both titles were appropriate for Garland. Essentially a soap opera, nowadays it is seen as a glossy 1960s drama in the style of The V.I.P.s and similar ’60s films.

Even today, the acting by both Garland and Dirk Bogarde (and the supports) is considered superb and the musical interludes, spell binding. Most of Garland’s concert performance work in the film was shot at the actual London Palladium, the scene of several record-breaking concert engagements by Garland. A mock-up of the Palladium stage was erected at Shepperton Studios for some of her songs and this still is for one of those.

Here she performs, with just a pianist (David Lee), the beautiful Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson song “It Never Was You”. Garland is framed in light on the stage, an iconic image of the beloved lady. Bob Willoughby is credited with the still photography on this film. It is coded LS (1317)-3 on the front.

BEATLES, THE | DAILY EXPRESS – READ GEORGE’S COLUMN EVERY WEEK (1963) Poster

Vintage orginal 29; x 19″ (76 x 49 cm.) poster, UK.

“Derek Taylor was a national journalist when he was assigned to write a review of a Beatles concert. He had been expected by his editors to write a piece critical of what at that time was considered by the national press as an inconsequential teen fad. However, he was enchanted by the group and instead sang their praises. Shortly afterwards, he was invited to meet The Beatles and soon became a trusted journalist in their circle.

“As The Beatles gained national attention in Britain, Taylor’s editors conceived of running a column ostensibly written by a Beatle to boost circulation, to be ghostwritten by Taylor. George Harrison was the Beatle eventually decided upon. Although Taylor was initially only given the right to approve or disapprove of the content, Harrison’s dissection of the first draft turned the column into an ongoing collaboration between the two, with Harrison providing the stories and Taylor providing the polish.” (Wikipedia)

This is a genuinely very-rare poster, with its imagery of The Beatles when still quite young and at the moment when their stars were beginning to ascend. On linen, with very minor slight touch-ups, there is one small marginal area of blank linen which is lightly bent, NEAR FINE.
