Title
Production Contact Proof Photos (236) from The Green Hornet (TCF-TV, 1966-1967)....
Description
Production Contact Proof Photos (236) from The Green Hornet (TCF-TV, 1966-1967). Vintage original gelatin silver glossy 8" x 10" proof contact prints (derived from 4" x 5", 2.25" x 2.25", and 35mm negatives) of Van Williams, Bruce Lee, and Wende Wagner from The Green Hornet, with rubber stamp "20th CENTURY-FOX TELEVISION'S / "THE GREEN HORNET / ABC-TV" on the verso of some. Included are the 8" x 10" proof print exposures: TVP-733-TVP-1032, TVP-1070-TVP-1074, TVP-1090-TVP-1099, TVP-1100-TVP-1103, 9751-1-9751-19, 9801-1-9801-8, 9801-9-9801-156, 9802-1-9802-168, 9803-1-9803-115, 9804-1-9804-281, 9805-1-9805-116, 9806-11-9806-162, 9807-1-9807-9, 9807-22-9807-33, 9810-1-9810-54, 9813-1-9813-81, 9814-1-9814-102, 9815-1-9815-161, 9816-1-9816-35, 9817-1-9817-26, 9821-1-9821-12, 9823-1-9823-24, 9825-1-9825-97, and 9899-1-9899-48. These are the reference contact prints from the television series and are likely the only such set, each containing production still photography not seen in another print format. Only a small fraction was selected for publicity from the single season of 26 episodes and was hand-printed. A showcase for the charismatic Bruce Lee in his earliest, dashing persona, who stole every scene from the lead, Van Williams. This series introduced Asian martial arts to the American television audience, allowing Lee to display his signature intuitive, less formalized style. Also featured is the lovely Wende Wagner in her only extended role. The unforgettable Angelique Pettyjohn was the only guest actress to appear in all three of the iconic series of the 1960s: Batman, memorably in Star Trek, and The Green Hornet, and is extensively featured wearing a swimsuit in a long sequence from Episode 17, "Corpse of the Year:" Part 1 (9818-5-9818-93). Very Fine to Excellent. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
