Brewster McCloud (1971)

The Brewster McCloud series (1 linear foot and 1 oversized box) consists of materials from the 1971 film directed by Robert Altman, and written by Doran William Cannon. The film features the actors Bud Cort, Sally Kellerman, Michael Murphy, Shelley Duvall, Rene Auberjonois, Stacy Keach, Bert Remsen, Jennifer Salt and John Schuck. Slides contain images from a cast and crew softball game played in the Astrodome, where a portion of the film is set. Additionally, the slides contain images of birds, possibly taken by the titular character. The scrapbook features original artwork for the film, and photographs of the cast and crew, assembled by producer Lou Adler. Additionally, the photographs contain an inscribed on-the-set still given to Altman by actor Cort. Many of the on-the-set images feature Altman and Cort testing the flying apparatus. Additional materials include a foreign press kit, an original script by Cannon (the film then calledBrewster McCloud's Flying Machine) , and various caricatures of the cast.
