1964131051Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1964. Draft script for the 1965 film based on the 1948 novel by Evelyn Waugh legendarily co-written by Terry Southern and Christopher Isherwood. Deluxe working script belonging to uncredited crew member William Todd Mason with his name and phone number in holograph ink on the title page and some brief penciled annotations on three pages. Laid in is a corner stapled three page Staff and Crew list with two name additions in holograph red ink on the second page. <br/><br/>Included is a vintage studio still photograph from the film. <br/><br/>An early draft issued nearly two years prior to the film's October 1965 release with substantial differences from the finished film. <br/><br/>The sister film to "Dr. Strangelove" and in the eyes of many just as much a masterpiece of exquisitely wrought black humor. Made in the US but in a dense British-American style. Ostensibly a satire on the funeral business in which a young British poet winds up in a Hollywood cemetery as part of an inheritance arrangement-but in reality a satire of Hollywood itself as well as the Western malaise of the mid 1960s. <br/><br/>Script: Self wrappers presumably as this draft was issued. Title page present rubber stamped copy No. 70 dated July 21 1964 with credits for screenwriters Southern and Isherwood. 158 leaves mimeograph duplication with blue revision pages throughout dated 7-22-64.

1968147232Paris: Les Films Marceau 1968. Three Draft scripts for the 1969 film by three different screenwriters. <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/>The first script is an undated draft script by screenwriter George Bluestone who previously adapted Winston Graham's 1967 novel "The Walking Stick" for the 1968 Eric Till film with copied annotations throughout striking adding and adjusting dialogue.<br/><br/>The second is a Second draft script dated 1st April 1968 by novelist playwright and screenwriter Derek Marlow with copied annotations striking scenes or pages on nearly every page. Marlow said in an interview that he was asked by director Tony Richardson which book he'd like to adapt for a screenplay and Marlow suggested Nabakov's "Laughter in the Dark." Two or three months afterward Marlow received a call from Richardson asking him to write the adaptation. <br/><br/>At the time Richard Burton was to star alongside Marianne Faithfull. Marlow then went to the U.S. to promote his 1968 novel "Memoirs of a Venus Lackey" and upon his return to the UK found out a new screenplay by Edward Bond had been written and Burton and Faithfull had been replaced.<br/><br/>The third is a draft script dated 24th June 1968 by Edward Bond. IMDB shows the filming date as starting June 1968 thus likely a draft used early in the production. The first half of the script to page 66 is on pink paper with the remainder on green paper with no revision date change.<br/><br/>Based on the 1932 novel by Vladimir Nabokov updating the original 1930s Berlin setting to 1960s swinging London about a wealthy art dealer who is seduced and swindled out of his fortune by a young woman and her lover.<br/><br/>Set in London and the Riviera shot on location in Spain France and the United Kingdom. <br/><br/>George Bluestone script:<br/><br/>Wrapper integral with title page with credits for screenwriter George Bluestone and author Vladimir Nabokov. 114 leaves with last page of text numbered 109.

Letters: 14" x 8-1/2". Photographs:. <br/><br/>Who took the first aerial picture of Mount Everest after receiving express permission by stunning the Majarajah of Nepal with bi-plane aerobatics Richard Halliburton was a legendary American travel writer and adventurer. Reading stories of his feats and antics seem surreal - after all who flies an airplane upside down over the Taj Mahal Halliburton was born in January of 1900 in Brownsville Tennessee. Deciding at an early age not to settle down and grow old with a wife and family as the rest of his family and friends seemed to be doing. After graduating from Princeton Halliburton traveled on as many adventures as possible and published his first novel The Royal Road to Romance in 1925 at the tender age of 25. His first novel became a bestseller and was followed by more published adventures in 1927 and 1929. He enjoyed fame and adventures for a little over a decade before deciding in 1938 that his next grand feat would be to cross the Pacific ocean from Hong Kong to the San Francisco International Exposition in a Chinese Junk ship made expressly for his purposes. It is on this voyage that Halliburton and the entire crew of the Junk the "Sea Dragon" were lost at sea having gotten caught in a typhoon. In 1945 a 150-foot ship outline with Chinese lettering washed ashore in California this thought to possibly be some of the wreckage of the "Sea Dragon." Letter I: Halliburton describes the arrival in China and purpose of the expedition as well as his interest in junks stemming from a 1 ft. scale model he sailed as a child. He explains that he chose to use a junk for his journey because of their stability and notes that it is possible it will not be the smoothest ride. He quips: "If the junk should be small the storms violent and the voyage long - all the better. For if there is no hazard no battle where is the sport" He introduces the "friends" of the expedition to his crew of Captain John Welch Henry von Fehren "Bru" Potter among others. Halliburton also spends a significant amount of time discussing the war with China and Japan and the Japanese belief systems. Letter 2: The second letter discusses the search for an appropriate junk and the ultimate decision to build their own that could be modified for the journey. Working with the man said to be the best ship-builder in Hong Kong Mr. Fat Kau and the appropriation of a few more crew members a chef and a radio operator. Letter 3: The third letter posted from Canton desribes their taking the Sea Dragon out for a "shake down" cruise with Mr. Fat Kau as his guest who though a builder of ships had never sailed on one and with high seas nearly everyone aboard became seasick. Halliburton notes the dry deck despite the high waves and believes he was right about the Sea Dragon's sea-worthiness. Much of the rest of the letter is spent discussing Canton the disputes between the Chinese and Japanese the destruction the looters and other conditions in the city. Letter 4: After setting out on their voyage the Sea Dragon needed to return after only 2 days due to sickness on the boat. Though Halliburton seems only a trifle annoyed at the delay of their voyage he is excited enough to try again and leaves his readers with this: "In about another week we plan to leave again to slip away as quietly as possible and head east once more around the southern tip of Formosa - and straight on to Midway. If all goes well the next letter the fifth will carry an American stamp for Midway Island is American. When this the fourth letter reaches you we'll be a thousand miles along the way - I hope. Many thanks again for your interest and good will. Faithfully Richard Halliburton" The Trans-Pacific Chinese Junk Expedition, Inc unknown books

1940148508Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1940. Vintage borderless photograph of Preston Sturges and Muriel Angelus on the set of the 1940 film. Mimeo snipe and "Paramount Photo by G.E. Richardson" stamp on verso. <br/><br/>Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. <br/><br/>Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenplay. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.

1903WRCAM55317N.p. but likely Chicago 1903. Two-color map on thin paper approximately 18 x 31 3/4 inches. Original folds. Slight separations at a few crossfolds few short closed marginal tears. Very good. An interesting promotional map produced by Chicago oil and real estate speculator Charles O. Richardson highlighting the oil- producing areas of Uinta County Wyoming at the dawn of the 20th century. Uinta County is located at the extreme southwestern corner of Wyoming on the border with Utah. At the time this map was produced crude oil was vitally important to both the Standard Oil Company and the Union Pacific Railroad - for the former to refine into gasoline and for the latter to lubricate locomotives. Both entities appear on the present map. <br> <br> The "Index" or key of the map references the first two wells of the Standard Oil Company other oil & gas wells the lands of the Standard Reserve Oil Company the lines for the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad red dashed line the Union Pacific Railroad Main Line solid red line and certain county and other roads. On the far right portion of the sheet is a large schematic cross-section showing "the stratifications of oil sand encountered" in drilling the Union Pacific Oil Well. <br> <br> Oil was known to exist in Wyoming long before the present map since at least the 1830s when Captain Bonneville found an oil spring near Dallas Dome. Uinta County was known to have oil near Hilliard when Fort Bridger was established nearby in 1842 both appear on the present map. Yet this map is one of the earliest depictions of the industry on a promotional piece produced when the railroad the automobile and the motorcycle created explosive demand for oil. Overall the present map is testament to the importance of southwestern Wyoming in the history of the oil industry. Wyoming still ranks in the top ten among oil-producing states in the U.S. <br> <br> A rare map with only four copies reported in OCLC at Yale SMU's DeGolyer Library the University of Utah and the University of Wyoming.
