147221New York: Oscard Associates 1986. Draft script for the 1988 film two copied annotations of a circled "3" and "4" on one page.<br /> <br /> From the estate of film producer Elliott Kastner whose best known credits include "The Long Goodbye" Robert Altman 1973 "The Missouri Breaks" Arthur Penn 1976 and "Heat" Michael Mann 1996.<br /> <br /> Singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson teamed up with Terry Southern to create a truly odd and uncomfortable screenplay about a struggling unstable actress calling people and businesses on her phone in her apartment. Essentially a one-woman performance set entirely in a small apartment with a pet owl goldfish and a telephone. Nilsson and Southern enlisted Whoopi Goldberg to play the woman. Rip Torn directed his first and only time in that capacity. The film included short cameos from Elliott Gould John Heard and Severn Darden as well as the voice of Herve Villechase.<br /> <br /> The film was universally panned with Goldberg even filing a lawsuit to prevent its release after Torn's cut was screened at the Sundance Film Festival but being unlike any other film it has since achieved a kind of a cult status.<br /> <br /> Black untitled wrappers.

1981133045Burbank CA: Walt Disney Pictures 1981. Revised script for the 1983 film. Written for the screen by Ray Bradbury based on his 1962 novel. <br/><br/>After a carnival comes to Green Town the good citizens are compelled to follow their deepest desires caught under the spell of the malevolent Mr. Dark Jonathan Pryce who can grant those desires on one condition: that the grantees will forever join his freak show. <br/><br/>In 1977 Bradbury sold the film rights to his novel to Paramount. He and director Jack Clayton whom Bradbury had previously worked with on Moby Dick produced a completed script. However production never began and the film was eventually put into turnaround. At the time Walt Disney Pictures was concentrating on films with more mature themes in an attempt to break free from their stereotype as an animation and family film studio. After the success of darker children's fantasy pictures by competing studios such as Time Bandits and The Dark Crystal Disney decided to purchase the adaptation's rights and hired Bradbury to produce a new script from scratch. .Set in Greentown Illinois but shot on location in Morrisville and Waterville Vermont. <br/><br/>Gray titled wrappers noted as Revised on the front wrapper marked production No. 0233 dated 8/24/81 with credits for novelist and screenwriter Bradbury.

1959158542New York: Inkweed Studios 1959. Vintage poster for the 1959 off-Broadway play which opened on July 15 1959 at the Living Theatre. Poster designed by Inkweed Studios with a label affixed to the recto stating showtimes. Presumably either unique or produced in very small quantity. Mounted on art board as issued and used.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1951 by Beat poet Kabbalist and Lower East Side underground luminary Lionel Ziprin with his wife illustrator and dancer Joanne Ziprin Inkweed Studios was originally created to produce "studio cards"-greeting cards to rival the mass-produced cards produced by the Hallmark Company. While not financially successful Inkweed did produce many outstanding graphics such as the poster on offer here. The company also served as the launching pad for the graphic work of artists such as Harry Smith Jordan Belson Bruce Conner Barbara Remington and William Mohr. <br /> <br /> Jack Gelber's landmark play within a play observes a producer and writer attempting to stage a production using "real" heroin addicts largely jazz musicians waiting for their score interspersed with jazz music. Notable not only for its honest depiction of addiction the play also radically re-imagined the relationship between audience and actor with actors utilizing the theatre's aisles as performance areas an actor presented as an audience member and actors remaining in character and panhandling during intermission. A key play in the history of American jazz and an evocative portrait and product of the Beat era. Winner of three Obie Awards including Best New Play Best All-Around Production and Best Actor for Warren Finnerty. Made into an equally groundbreaking and largely unrecognized motion picture in 1961 directed by Shirley Clarke and starring Finnerty and William Redfield.<br /> <br /> 13.75 x 21.75 inches archivally framed to 16.25 x 24.25 inches. Very Good plus with some light corner and edgewear a small chip to the bottom right corner and a small bruise to the mid-right edge. Inkweed Studios unknown
