Default Kubrick\'s odyssey on show

The first major exhibition of legendary director Stanley Kubrick's film props, possessions and memorabilia is being held in Frankfurt am Main in Germany

When Kubrick died in 1999, shortly before the release of his last film, rumours abounded about his compulsive obsessiveness and predilection for reclusion.

The most impressive exhibit is the shooting schedule of the film 'Napoleon' Kubrick said would be the best ever made.

Other goodies on show include personal letters - one from Katharine Hepburn, gently turning down a request to star in a Kubrick film - and letters from fans marked "F-P" for the positive ones and "F-N" for the negative ones.

Plus there are photographs of the so-called pie scene, which never made the final cut in Dr Strangelove.

Then there is the famous Dali-inspired, lip-shaped red settee used in Lolita; the zero-gravity loo door used in 2001; the outrageous naked-woman coffee table of A Clockwork Orange; sketches for Artificial Intelligence, eventually completed by Steven Spielberg; and the small-scale model of the war room in Dr Strangelove - never entirely seen on screen.
