[Movies]. Richter, Hans. DREAMS THAT MONEY CAN BUY.
New York: Films International of America, 1949. Souvenir program for this experimental film. Pictorial wrappers. 8vo. Illustrated with photographs. An early production with the cover printed in yellow as opposed to the more common issue in green. Moreover, this copy originated with the Thalia Movie Theater in New York City where the film debuted, so stamped with the theater's stamp that records the date of the premiere (Friday, December 31st). Laid into this copy is a 1965 TLS in German from the film's director, Hans Richter, in which he refuses to provide a copy of the program due to contractual restrictions. Some 75 regretful words on his personal letterhead. "Dreams That Money Can Buy" had an all-star cast of contributors, including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Paul Bowles, Darius Milhaud, Libby Holman, Josh White, John Latouche, etc. It was widely considered to be a Dada / Surrealist masterpiece. Fine.
