A tightly curated offering of artifacts circa the early 1930s on through the end of the century, this October’s capsule sale brings together rare and fresh-to-market costumes, props, posters, concept art, and more, representing some of the most beloved genres in American film history.Highlights include significant pre-production material from Ridle www.sothebys.com
