When Julius wanders off he is replaced in the film by actor Joseph Chaikin. The film examines the boundaries of reality and sanity and features the screenwriting debut of Sam Shepard and the first feature film appearance of Christopher Walken. <br/><br/>The film was restored and released by Steidl in 2007 along with a book publication outlining the film. From the Steidl book: "Frank's feature debut was first screened in 1968 at the Venice Film Festival. Everything which had defined Frank's art up to that point turns up in this film - the look at America 'from the outside' the poetic libertinage of the Beats the marginal in a central role. It celebrates the return of the poetic essay as assemblage the affirmation of the underground as a wild cinematic analysis in the form of a collage and skillfully weaves together opposites plays counterfeits against the authentic pornography against poetry acting against being Beat cynicism against hippie romanticism monochrome against colored. The story contains bizarre twists and turns and appears to be a rather artless-film-within-a-film being shown at a rundown movie theater."<br/><br/>26.75 x 20.75 inches. Near Fine.

1929137372Budapest: Hunnia Filmstudio 1929. Presentation copy of an Early Draft script for the Hungarian film released in Hungry in 1932 as "Tavaszi zapor" in Frace in 1933 as "Marie Legende Hongroise" and in the United States in 1935 as "Spring Shower." Housed in a likely hand-sewn floral cloth-covered portfolio the script is INSCRIBED by the Hungarian-American feminist and radical socialist screenwriter Ilona Fulop on the title page: "To Mac: / Because You still trust me! / Ilona / Christmas 1929 / Hollywood Cal." A unique and attractive item and probably the only surviving copy of the script. <br/><br/>The story of a poor girl driven out of her village when she becomes pregnant by her employer's wealthy fiance finding refuge working as a maid in a brothel. After her daughter is taken from her however she falls into alcoholism and dies. A maid in Heaven as she was on earth she saves her daughter from befalling a similar fate by "emptying her mop bucket" on her daughter's head via a rain shower at a pivotal moment. <br/><br/>A multinational production in which a Hungarian screenwriter and Hungarian director both with experience in Hollywood shot a film starring a French actress using frozen assets from a French producer that had been mandated for exclusively Hungarian use. Though not a box office success at the time it is now regarded as one of the all-time great films originating from the country. In a 1919 article entitled "What is 'Revolution' Doing to Love" screenwriter Fulop describes herself as a socialist radical as opposed to a revolutionary or a Bolshevik and her desire to further equal rights for women strongly defines her as a modern-day feminist as well. "Spring Showers" with its women- and proletarian-friendly plot thus comes as little surprise. <br/><br/>Housed in floral cloth-covered portfolio titled wrappers.

1955146249Burbank CA: Walt Disney Productions 1955. Draft script for the 1956 film here under the working title "Children of the Covered Wagon." Walt Disney's working copy with "Walt Disney" in holograph ink on upper left margin of Walt Disney Productions label on the front wrapper not in Disney's hand and annotations in red blue and graphite holograph pencil throughout all clearly in Disney's hand. The most substantive of the annotations denote sequence order and use of stock footage.<br/><br/>Our first reaction was to doubt such close involvement by Disney on a 1950s feature but it turns out that this film was special: it was Disney's first Western and only its second live-action CinemaScope feature following on the heels of the wildly successful "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" the year before. Too Disney's first animated CinemaScope feature "Lady and the Tramp" was released just prior to this film in the summer of 1955. All three were major debuts for Disney and Walt Disney's involvement was naturally more hands-on than usual.<br/><br/>Based on the 1934 novel "Children of the Covered Wagon" by Mary Jane Carr about a group of pioneers in a wagon train traveling across the West. Staring Disney stalwart Fess Parker of "Davey Crockett" fame as John "Doc" Grayson and featuring four Mouseketeers from the "Mickey Mouse Club" television series: Tommy Cole Doreen Tracey Cubby O'Brian and Karen Pendleton.<br/><br/>A one-hour Disneyland telecast on November 14 1956 entitled "Along the Oregon Trail" included a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of "Westward Ho the Wagons!" and on the day of the film's opening the first segment of a four-part series about Native Americans entitled "The First Americans" began on the Disneyland series.<br/><br/>Set in the American West shot on location at the Conejo Ranch near Thousand Oaks in California. <br/><br/>Red titled wrappers with affixed Walt Disney Productions label as called for with Disney scripts from this era with credits for screenwriter Tom Blackburn and production number 2093. 157 leaves with last page of text numbered 153.

1945003238Burbank California: Universal Studios 1945. Doyle A. Conan Frank Gruber screenwriter. TERROR BY NIGHT. Burbank: Universal Studios 1945-6. This unique film studio screenplay archive consists of THREE studio scripts: two original writer's draft manuscripts and the final dialogue and continuity script. In short a treasure trove of primary material relating to one of the most endearing and enduring film series of the 1940s. The twelve Sherlock Holmes films produced by Universal Pictures during the years 1942-1946 are legend; they are surely the best known screen-adapted adventures of English Literature's most iconic character and Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are still cherished as the definitive Holmes and Watson. 1. Dated July 2nd 1945 Frank Gruber's complete 113pp original typed carbon copy manuscript labeled "File Copy" accomplished on onion-skin paper brad-bound and housed in original drab brown studio covers production number 7322 with each leaf rubber-stamped "Contract File Copy" in red block letters. The cover is edge-worn but the contents are Very Good indeed. This copy belonged to Tom McKnight penciled signature so stating who served as the Universal Studios Sherlock Holmes technical adviser throughout the entire run of the series. 2. Dated September 29th 1945 Frank Gruber's complete 93pp corrected carbon copy manuscript cover-titled in pencil which includes brad-bound and laid in at the rear two studio-mimeographed sets of extensive screenwriter-corrected white revision pages dated 10/4/1945 and 10/8/1945. Overall Very Good. 3. Dated January 14th 1946 the complete original studio-mimeographed self-wrapper final post-production dialogue continuity script bound with two brads at the top. In Very Good condition. Although this film was inspired by Conan Doyle's "Adventure of the Empty House" in its characterization of Colonel Sebastian Moran and the use of an air gun as a murder weapon screenwriter Frank Gruber created what essentially was an original story and screenplay. Gruber's prior film credits included "Northern Pursuit" 1943 with Errol Flynn and "Johnny Angel" the 1945 Crime Noir starring George Raft. He was also one of the most prolific pulp magazine short story writers of the era. The producer of TERROR BY NIGHT was Howard Benedict from RKO's Saint and Falcon series. The director and executive producer was Roy William Neill who was inarguably the guiding force behind the last nine films in the series. TERROR BY NIGHT unapologetically borrowed from both of Alfred Hitchcock's train-set thrillers "The 39 Steps" 1936 and "The Lady Vanishes" 1938 and Roy William Neill's interpretation of these classics perhaps was the reason TERROR BY NIGHT is one of the best films in the series. TERROR BY NIGHT opened on February 8th 1946 to excellent reviews and the favorable reaction by a thrilled public. A unique archive a unique opportunity for the collector. . Signed.

1968128776New York: Francis Productions Inc 1968. First Draft script for the 1968 film. Copy belonging to Frank Perry with his name in red holograph ink on the title page. Perry considered making the film but it was ultimately directed by Christian Marquand. This draft is credited solely to Southern though Buck Henry was ultimately given full credit for the adaptation from the novel by Southern and Mason Hoffenberg. <br/><br/>In her memoir "Trippin' with Terry Southern: What I Think I Remember" Gail Gerber details at some length the tangle of legal problems over the publication of "Candy" in the US and abroad. Publication was poorly controlled resulting in numerous pirated editions and lawsuits involving Maurice Girodias Olympia Press Putnam and small US paperback publishers such as Lancer Greenleaf and Brandon House. She notes "Despite the popularity of the novel Hollywood was always leery about getting involved with properties that have 'clouded title' so it was no surprise that Frank Perry gave up on the idea of directing the film version of 'Candy' much to Terry's disappointment." <br/><br/>Black titled Studio Duplicating Service wrappers.
