Le Procès (The Trial) (in: l'Avant-Scène Cinema, no. 23 (spécial), February 15, 1963)

Paris: L'Avant-Scène. Very Good+. 1963. (No. 23, numéro spécial). Periodical. [modest edgewear to covers, internally Fine; encased in a custom-cut plastic "jacket" which is somewhat surface-worn and has a tiny missing piece adjacent to the spine, but has protected the magazine quite nicely]. (B&W photographs) An early "special" issue of this long-running French film periodical, which (per its usual practice) is devoted almost exclusively to presenting the full scenario (in French) of a single film -- in this instance Orson Welles's 1962 adaptation of Franz Kafka's "The Trial," which was filmed in multiple European countries, with Anthony Perkins as the persecuted Josef K. and Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider and Welles himself in supporting roles. A few pages at the back of the magazine contain: two pages of excerpts from critical commentaries on THE TRIAL; the basic data (one page) regarding Ermanno Olmi's IL POSTO (with photos); and the scenario of the short film LES FEMMES DE STERMETZ by Louis Grospierre (with photos). .
