Fritz Lang papers, ca. 1909-1973.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/27582253

The collection includes a 198 page typed manuscript on Navajo culture, "Male Shooting Chant," told by Blue Eyes of Lukachukai, recorded by Father Berard Haile, translated by Gladys A. Reichard. There is a galley proof, with Lang's handwritten notes, of Peter Bogdanovich's "Fritz Lang in America." There are research materials on Indian history, including historical notes on the great moguls and the Taj Mahal, and a rough draft of "The Pearl of Love: the Story of the Taj Mahal," which was never made into a movie. There are also awards and medals presented to Lang. There is an almost inclusive run of the People's Song Bulletin, 1946-1949. This bulletin was founded and administered by Pete Seegar to create, promote, and distribute songs of labor and the American people. The bulletin was sold only to members of the People's Songs Association and was not in wide distribution. There are 35 reels of 16mm color film, 1938-1953, filmed by Fritz Lang as he toured the Southwest. They are films of New Mexico, Arizona, and Indians which include Canyon de Chelly, Death Valley, Hopi villages, and Bryce Canyon. There is one reel of Fritz Lang.
