1965146364New York: Challenger Productions 1965. Ribbon copy typescript of a Preliminary Treatment script for an unproduced film. The manuscript does not name the author however we can reasonably presume this is Robert Newman's known treatment for Isak Dinesen's "Seven Gothic Tales" under the title "The Gothic Tales" which we have offered once in the past with that copy having a stated credit for Newman and also 53 pages; and also "Challenger Productions" as stated on title page as well as documented in Boston University's Robert Newman Collection.

Only one was completed Welles' 1968 "The Immortal Story" starring Jeanne Moreau based on the short story of the same name from the 1958 collection "Anecdotes of Destiny." In the early 1980s Welles attempted to film "The Dreamers" based on the short story of the same name from "Seven Gothic Tales" and "Echoes" from the 1957 collection "Last Tales" but only completed a few scenes and abandoned the project after a lack of financing.<br /> <br /> In 1982 Italian director Emidio Greco directed "Ehrengard" based upon Dinesen's novel of the same name but was not released until 2002 due to financial complications.<br /> <br /> Set in Europe. <br /> <br /> Blue untitled wrappers.

1981146360Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1981. Final draft script for the 1982 film with annotations in manuscript ink striking dialogue on three pages.<br /> <br /> A cocaine fueled spoof of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" that could have only been made in the early 1980s.

So he did." and "The comedy that examines modern living through chemistry" one has a good idea what to expect. The film allows Mark Blankfield of the sketch comedy television show "Fridays" free range for a completely over-the-top performance as the shy timid Dr. Jekyll and the mustachioed gold-toothed hairy chested party-animal Mr. Hyde and aptly closes with a shot of Robert Louis Stevenson spinning in his grave.<br /> <br /> Tan titled Paramount wrappers noted as FINAL DRAFT on the front wrapper dated March 31 1981.

1959170556London: British Lion 1959. Seven vintage studio still photographs from the British release of the 1959 film. <br /> <br /> The first film by John Cassavetes entirely self-funded about three Black siblings in Harlem two of whom often pass for white. A watershed moment in American independent films heralding not just the arrival of a new iconoclastic director but the birth of an entire movement. <br /> <br /> With its roots in an acting exercise from Cassavetes' Drama Workshop the story was originally shot in 1958 with completely improvised dialogue and action based on loose scene outlines. After the finished film was poorly received at its initial screenings Cassavetes reworked the ideas into a more traditional script with screenwriter Robert Alan Arthur and reshot the film replacing between half and two thirds of the original footage and dramatically altering the story. Released in 1959 this version better reflected his vision for the film and received a critics award when shown at the Venice Film Festival the following year. <br /> <br /> Shot on location in New York. <br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches.
