About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1959. Four vintage reference photographs from the 1959 short film. Three with the title in manuscript ink on the bottom margin of the recto, and one with a provenance label on the verso.
Based on a purportedly true incident in the life of Beat icons Neal and Carolyn Cassady, wherein a couple's dinner party for a visiting bishop is crashed by their zany bohemian friends. Adapted by Jack Kerouac from the third act of his play "Beat Generation," with voiceover narration by Kerouac, and a title taken from the poem of the same name co-written by Kerouac, Cassady, and Allen Ginsberg.
For years the film was rumored to have been entirely unscripted, capturing a real event at co-director Alfred Leslie's loft in the Bowery, until Leslie revealed in a 1968 interview that the film had in fact been scripted, heavily rehearsed, and shot in a photography studio.
10 x 8 inches. Small chips at the top edges, else about Near Fine.
National Film Registry.
