1960WRCLIT41864New York: Film Projects Inc./ Ric Eyrich 1960. 196 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bolt-bound in gilt-stamped stiff- card steno binder with small production logo label at lower corner of upper wrapper. Wrappers somewhat creased and used at overlap edges internally very good or better. Denoted a "Revised" draft. An original and evidently unproduced screenplay about life among working stiffs street-people and hustlers in New York. Flender wrote the 1957 novel PARIS BLUES that served as the basis for the superb 1961 Martin Ritt film starring Paul Newman Joanne Woodward and Sidney Poitier and it's possible this script dates from the period following the success of that film. In later years Flender turned to works on the Holocaust and life in Israel beginning with RESCUE IN DENMARK 1963 and a book chronicling the late '60s drug culture.
