Daniel Mann

The photograph series of the Daniel Mann papers spans the years 1952–1975 and encompasses 1.75 linear feet. The series consists of 1,798 items, including black-and-white and color prints, proof sheets, negatives, color slides and strips of 35mm positive motion picture film. The photographs are grouped into motion picture production photographs and biography photographs.

The motion picture production photographs span the years 1952–1975 and consist primarily of 8x10 scene and off-camera photographs of films directed by Mann. The material is arranged alphabetically by film title, and 19 titles are represented. Particularly well-represented are the titles Hot Spell (1958), The Mountain Road (1960), Our Man Flint (1966), and The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956).

The biography photographs span from the 1950s to 1991. They include portraits of Mann as well as photographs of Mann with Ernest Borgnine, with Donald Pleasance, with Hal Wallis, and with Mann's family. There are also photographs of Mann on the set of unidentified productions, as well as a small group of miscellaneous and unidentified photographs that do not appear to be associated directly with Mann's motion picture career.

Gift of Erica Mann Ramis, Michael Mann, and Alex Mann, 1996.
