FRANZ KAFKA'S IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1993) - Bug Mask, Production-Used Script and Crew List
A mask and production paperwork from Peter Capaldi’s Academy Award®-winning comedy short Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life. Gregor Samsa (Crispin Letts) wore his mask when he awoke in his bed and found himself transformed into an insect. From the collection of renowned model-maker Valerie Charlton, and displayed on a plaster life-cast of Letts, the mask is constructed from moulded card pulp and shows a realistic paint finish, with four black fabric legs extending from each side. Attached to the legs are wires that lead to puppet mechanisms on the back for movement. Accompanying it is a storyboard script, a shooting schedule, a crew list and a screening ticket. Signs of production use and wear are evident throughout. Dimensions (mask): 50 cm x 44 cm x 30 cm (19 ¾" x 17 ¼" x 12") As this item contains mechanical components, every effort has been made to describe them accurately.
