These shots are taken from my Mum's copy of Film Review for 1954-55. It looks as though daylight photos would be the best option as scanning and non-flash photos in artificial light haven't come out so well. Then again they are not too bad, so here we have....
Front Cover 1954-55 edition Marilyn Monroe & Robert Mitchum in a still from Twentieth Century Fox's River of No Return.
"Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh share starring honours in Universal-International's Technicolored CinemaScope period piece, THE BLACK SHIELD OF FALWORTH."
"Howard Keel, popular Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star, who, after making a great hit in this country as star of the London stage production of Oklahoma, went back to Hollywood to start a very successful screen career."
"Lovely Susan Hayward as the wicked Messalina, who causes such a scandal in the Roman Court, in 20th Century-Fox's lavish and large-scale Technicolored Cinemascope sequel to THE ROBE, DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS."
The captions are as they appear in the book. Curtis and Leigh is scanned whilst the others are photos. The problem is it is rather difficult to get the book into my old Epson scanner, and as it is I had to cover it with a dark towel to exclude the light. I will have to see if I can use the scanner at work some time. The colours look a little vivid by modern standards, but this is exactly as they appear in the book.
