Das Boot (also released as "The Boat", "The Boat [Das Boot]", and "U-boat 96"), the classic 1981 (released in the U.S. in 1982) Wolfgang Petersen (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) German World War II (WWII) military thriller ("When the hunters become the hunted"; "The other side of World War II"; "The most talked about movie in Germany is coming to America."; "The most talked about movie in Germany is now one of the most talked about movies in America"; "One of the most talked about films of the year is now in English"; "Hitler sent out 40,000 men aboard German U boats during World War II. Less than 10,000 returned. This is the story of 42 raw recruits caught up in a war they didn't understand, and the Captain who must lead them in their struggle to survive."; "On land they dreamed of being heroes. Beneath the sea they prayed to be survivors.";"The other side of World War II"; "Based on the Novel by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim"; "Written and Directed by Wolfgang Peterson"; set almost entirely in a claustrophobic submarine) starring Jurgen Prochnow, Herbert Gronemeyer, Klaus Wennemann, Hubertus Bengsch, Martin Semmelrogge, Bernd Tauber, Erwin Leder, Martin May, Heinz Hoenig (billed as "Heinz Honig"), Uwe Ochsenknecht, Claude-Oliver Rudolph, Jan Fedder, Ralf Richter (billed as "Ralph Richter"), Joachim Bernhard, Oliver Stritzel, Konrad Becker, Lutz Schnell, Martin Hemme, Gunter Lamprecht, and Otto Sander. Note that several years after the movie was released, the original footage was re-edited into three 100-minute sections and shown as a 3-part mini-series, and it was later shown as six 50-minute parts, and there was also a much longer director's cut released as well!

Important Added Info: Note that these are studio-issued 35mm slides that are produced by the studio but are not the camera original. Sometimes some or all of the slides have printing on the cardboard holder that gives the name of the movie, a credit for the photographer, and the copyright from the studio (see our images of these slides to know what information, if any, is on the holders). In the case of this set of slides, they were consigned to us by an individual, and we don't know if they were part of or all of the set that was sent with a presskit, or if they were distributed in another way, but we DO know that these slides were created either when the movie first came out, or even before the movie was released, for advance publicity. The slides are in plastic sleeves designed to hold them, and we photographed them on a light box (sometimes we left them in the sleeves, and other times we removed them), which allows you to see the images (but of course, the quality is not neatly as good as that of the actual slides, because they are photographed and not scanned, and some of them were photographed in the plastic sleeves).

This is a very special auction of 710 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, plus lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size.

Also note that this auction is for one or more 35mm slides (some sets are VERY large!), and every one of the 254 auctions of 35mm slides we are currently running have been either photographed in a light box (or in the case of a few titles), up to 4 of the slides have been scanned expertly. If any of the slides were scanned, we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of any slides we scanned. However, in the vast majority of cases, we did not scan any slides, and in those cases, we can send the winner of the auction unwatermarked photos of what was on the auction, but we can't send scans of slides we did not scan!
