The Lover French: L'Amant is a 1992 erotic romantic drama film produced by Claude Berri and directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. Based on the semi-autobiographical 1984 novel of the same name by Marguerite Duras the film details the illicit affair between a teenage French girl and a wealthy Chinese man in 1929 French Indochina. The protagonist is portrayed by Jane March and her lover is portrayed by Tony Leung Ka-fai. The film also features Jeanne Moreau as a narrator. Development began in 1989 with principal photography commencing in 1991. The film made its theatrical debut on 22 January 1992 in France on 19 June in the United Kingdom and in the United States on 30 October of the same year. The film was nominated for the 1992 Academy Award for Best Cinematography and won the Motion Picture Sound Editors' 1993 Golden Reel Award for "Best Sound Editing — Foreign Feature". It was nominated for seven César Awards in France winning the Award for Best Original Music. The film was a box office success in France and received generally positive reviews in Europe. Synopsis: The primary characters are known only as The Young Girl and The Chinese Man. The events take place in Vietnam. The daughter of a bitter fearful poverty-stricken French family living in a rural area she wears an old linen dress and a fedora and paints her lips bright red when out of her mother's sight. Her weak-willed widowed mother is a schoolteacher to local children. There is a violent opium-smoking older brother and a timid younger brother. The girl is a loner but an excellent student who dreams of being a writer. The girl meets the Chinese Man when crossing the river on the ferry to return to the city after a school holiday. He is the son of a businessman whose fortune was made in real estate and has recently returned from Paris after finishing his business studies. He has the look but lacks the self-assurance of the playboy he fancies himself to be and he is mesmerized the first time he sees her standing by the rail on a crowded ferry crossing the Mekong River. After some awkward conversation she accepts a lift to Saigon in his chauffeur-driven limousine. In voice-over at the beginning of the film she says she is 15 but she tells him she is 17; he is 32. During the drive he tremulously takes her hand; at the end his hand is in her lap. The following day he waits for her outside her boarding school and takes her to the room in the Chinese quarter that he uses for entertaining mistresses. They realize that "a future together is unthinkable" because she is scheduled to return to Paris soon and he is to make an arranged marriage with a Chinese heiress. Aware of the limited time they have together they fall into a relationship in which they shed all responsibilities that come with commitment. Every day after school the girl goes to his room where they have passionate sex. The girl's family discovers the affair and though at first furious they condone it because the man is wealthy and can pay off some of their debts. Despite his wealth and their poverty the family treats him with contempt as he is not European. The affair continues passionately and the man even goes so far as to beg his father for permission to marry her instead of entering into his arranged marriage but his father would rather see him dead than with a white girl. Though devastated the man marries his arranged bride and the girl boards a ship days later to return to France. Decades later she has become a successful writer. In the final scene she tells us that the Chinese Man is visiting France and has telephoned her. He tells her that he has never stopped loving her and never will.

1928137027N.p.: N.p. 1928. Vintage double weight photograph from the set of the 1928 film. Shown are Dreyer and his crew including cinematographer Rudolph Mate setting up a ground shot of one of the film's French clergymen. <br/><br/>A rare photograph of the director at work on his masterpiece. The film was shot on one huge concrete set modeled on medieval architecture in order to realistically portray the Rouen prison where Joan was held. The film is known for its cinematography and use of close-ups. Dreyer also didn't allow the actors to wear make-up and used lighting designs that made the actors look more grotesque. The latter element is evident in this photograph as one of the crew is holding up a board to reflect light onto the actor and a hole has been dug in order to get a ground-up perspective. <br/><br/>9 x 7 inches. In an archival mat. Very Good to Near Fine with a small stain on the verso. N.p. unknown books

1933131600Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1933. Draft script for the 1934 film. The second Tarzan film to star Johnny Weissmuller with Jane famously portrayed by Maureen O'Sullivan. <br/><br/>One of the best Tarzan films and a landmark film in the history of film censorship. A big budget followup to MGM's first Tarzan film "Tarzan and His Mate" featured a lengthy balletic swimming scene between Tarzan and a nude Jane with Olympic swimmer Josephine McKim doubling for Maureen O'Sullivan one of the first completely nude scenes in a Hollywood film. The scene along with the occasionally breast and buttocks revealing costume worn by O'Sullivan in other scenes ran afoul of newly appointed Production Code Administration head Joseph Breen who was determined to more strictly enforce decency standards than his predecessor the Code's namesake Will Hays. <br/><br/>The film was censored and changes were ordered by Breen. MGM appealed the decision to the Association of Motion Picture Producers but despite the vigorous objections by Louis B. Mayer and Irving Thalberg it became the first film to lose such an appeal. In total eleven minutes were cut from the film including the swimming scene making it one of the first films affected by the new more censorious PCA and one that sits clearly on the line demarcating the pre-Code and Code Enforcement eras. <br/><br/>In 1986 Ted Turner had the film restored to its original 116 minute version and it is that version that is available for home viewing today. <br/><br/>A story set in Africa shot on location in Silver Springs Florida and various locations in California. <br/><br/>Pale blue titled wrappers rubber-stamped production No. 1921 and VAULT COPY dated July 8 1933.

138357First Draft script for the 1972 film. A very early version written by Charles Grodin who would go uncredited on the final film. <br/><br/>A comedy that is pretty difficult to overestimate: even though it was not directed by Woody Allen it was the template for the many great films he would subsequently write and direct in the 1970s in terms of shooting style timing romantic themes and the actors involved the irrepressible trio of Allen Keaton and Roberts. Allen had already directed two films at this point "Take the Money and Run" and "Bananas" but this film is significant in that it predicted the more substantive romantic comedies that would later place him among the most important filmmakers of his era notably "Annie Hall" 1977 and "Manhattan" 1979. <br/><br/>Goldenrod titled wrappers noted as first draft screenplay on the front wrappernoted as FIRST DRAFT SCREENPLAY at the bottom right and with a credit for Twentieth Century-Fox at the top center and the logo for APJAC Productions at the bottom center.
