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.

1970152527N.p.: N.p. 1970. Dialogue transcript for the unfinished film copy belonging to Frank Zappa circa 1968 with a single annotation in Zappa's hand in holograph ink of "Wednesday" on top of first page. A transcript of multiple takes of ten scenes shot by Zappa for his long aspired but never finished experimental film. Featuring scenes primarily between Don Preston and Phyllis Smith Altenhaus the transcript also contains dialogue from Zappa himself as well as Carl Zappa Billy Mundi Aynsley Dunbar and Jimmy Carl Black. The annotation of "Wednesday" likely refers to the day the sequences were shot or the day Zappa intended on editing the footage.<br/><br/>Full provenance available including letter stating transcript came from the estate of Zappa's longtime business manager Herb Cohen.<br/><br/>As early as 1967 Zappa had begun work on his infamous unfinished experimental film "Uncle Meat." Originally featuring his then band the Mothers of Invention as both musicians and fictional characters over the next decade the film would morph and change into various proposed incarnations by Zappa's apparently unbridled imagination but the project was always constrained by a lack of financing. Finally in 1987 a direct-to-video "making of" documentary of the uncompleted "Uncle Meat" production was released.<br/><br/>In 1969 the Mothers of Invention released the double album "Uncle Meat." Largely an instrumental soundtrack to the unfinished film the album was an unfocused but brilliant showcase for Zappa's compositional dexterity and a harbinger of his emergence as one of the most creatively fertile minds in rock music.<br/><br/>Transparent front wrapper with orange back wrapper and spine. 59 leaves with last page of text numbered 58.

1976145023Universal City CA: Universal Pictures 1976. Early Draft script for the 1977 film. At 200 pages this draft is 36 pages longer than the longest of the three we have encountered meaning almost certainly that it is a First Draft or very close.<br/><br/>The plot of William Friedkin's suspense thriller originated with the same Georges Arnaud novel that inspired Henri-Georges Clouzot's French suspense classic "The Wages of Fear" 1953. Roy Scheider Bruno Cremer Francisco Rabal and Amidou play four men who for various reasons cannot return to their own countries. They end up in a dismal South American town where an American oil company is seeking out courageous drivers willing to haul nitroglycerin over 200 miles of treacherous terrain. The four stateless men have nothing to lose and besides they'll be paid $10000 apiece and be granted legal citizenship if they survive. The suspense is almost unbearable at times even outdistancing the tension level of "The Wages of Fear" in certain scenes in particular a famous set piece wherein one of the trucks must cross a rope bridge in the middle of the Amazon-and in the middle of a monsoon. Nominated for an Academy Award. <br/><br/>Gray titled wrappers. Title page present undated with credits for screenwriter Green and novelist Arnaud. 200 leaves xerographically duplicated.

1931136679Berlin: Nero-Film AG 1931. Vintage oversize double weight photograph from the 1931 film. Based on the true story of psychopathic serial killer Hans Beckert nicknamed the "Vampire of Dusseldorf" here played by Peter Lorre. A brilliant image from this crime thriller classic in which the search is on for Lorre. <br/><br/>Lang's first sound film Lorre's breakthrough role and the film Lang considered to be his masterpiece-an assertion that has found much agreement since. The mood atmosphere and lighting foreshadow film noir and Lang's use of sound though primitive technologically still makes a powerful psychological impact. <br/><br/>So strongly regarded was the film that MGM producer Irving Thalberg assembled his writers and directors for a screening and told them they needed to be making films of this caliber. Banned in Germany in 1934 when the Nazis came into power at which point Lorre and Lang both of partial Jewish ancestry fled the country. The expressionistic art direction visible here the uncredited work of Edgar G. Ulmer would also serve as the basis of Ulmer's later directorial work in Hollywood where he would make some of the most creative and classic noir-style films. Set in Berlin shot there on location. <br/><br/>Nero film insignia in the lower right corner with a Dutch blind stamp at the upper right corner. Original German stills from this film are scarce: this is the only one we have ever offered. <br/><br/>9 x 12 inches. Fine. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request.

1961137039Paris: Ajym Films 1961. Original French moyenne poster affiche for the 1961 French film. Winner of the 1962 Sutherland Trophy for best first or second feature by the British Film Institute. Scarce with only two copies found in Cine-ressources. <br/><br/>A labor of love released after numerous financial woes and a three-year production schedule "Paris Belongs to Us" did not cause the same stir as did the debuts of Rivette's "Cahiers du Cinema" peers though today it is seen as a film with an importance on the same level as the first works of Truffaut Godard and Chabrol. <br/><br/>Rivette retained his post at the journal throughout the 1960s even serving as editor from 1963 to 1965 as the French New Wave was in full swing. It wasn't until the start of the 1970s that Rivette's filmmaking career took off but the sensibilities and aesthetic values behind beloved masterpieces such as "Celine and Julie Go Boating" and "La belle noiseuse" are well on display in an exceptional first effort. <br/><br/>Rivette's career is generally defined by his adherence to long-form storytelling and a sense of structural reflexivity. This first feature serves as a perfect preamble to the epics that followed offering early insight into his sense for both larger scope and narrative complexity. At a confident 140 minutes the runtime of "Paris Belongs to Us" is roughly 40 minutes longer than any other first feature of the French New Wave though it pales in comparison to his later work particularly the twelve-hour "Out 1". Further with its focus on a theatrical Shakespeare production Rivette uses film to comment on its relationship to the stage a theme he would address in future films. <br/><br/>Set and shot in the streets and apartments of Paris. <br/><br/>23 x 31.5 inches folded as issued. Small exhibitor or distributor stamp to recto and verso. About Near Fine with small clean staple holes at corners and vertical fold very minor fold separation at edges and center.
