1931003116Berlin: Nero-Film A. G. 1931. Original vintage German publicity photo of PETER LORRE in the legendary film classic "M" directed by Fritz Lang. Berlin: Nero-Film A. G. 1931. This stunning image shows Lorre as the murderer confronted by the blind balloon seller who recognizes his distinctive whistle thus setting Lorre's capture in motion. Exceedingly rare photo recently found in an old untouched US archive having originated as an oversized German negative which was re-purposed for use in Denmark as evidenced by the Danish Film Censor's mark "statens" at the bottom which is baked into the negative and then presumably arrived here as a collector's rarity . Glossy single-weight roughly 8" x 10" gelatin silver print. It shows overall wear from handling and it has many faint creases plus stains on reversewhich do not bleed through to the front yet retains eye appeal. "M" remains one of the most famous films of world cinema. It provided the initial blueprint for the entire genre now labeled psychological thriller. "M" original posters sell from $15000 to $50000. Here's a chance to own a piece of the same cinema history at a small fraction of the cost. . First Thus. Very Good. Photograph. Nero-Film A. G. books
18371The Writers' Guild of Great Britain 430 Edgware Road London. Two items on Pulman's letterhead 31 Steele's Road London. 1968. Six items relating to Pulman's arbitration including 'a careful breakdown by him of scene continuity of the Bourguignon script the Duncan script and the final shooting script' these three breakdowns Items Two to Four below totalling 8pp. In his four-page arbitration Pulman gives a detailed account of the process of the film's composition of all the more interest as coming from a master screenwriter and contemporary. All six items in good condition lightly aged. ONE: Carbon copy of Pulman's signed four-page 'Arbitration - "GIRL ON A MOTORCYLE" Writers involved - S. Bourguignon Ronald Duncan Jack Cardiff Gillian Freeman'. A full description of the case in fourteen numbered sections giving a great deal of detail regarding the composition of the script beginning with a list of six 'writing stages' and Pulman's reasons for reaching his conclusion. He describes the film as 'a story done very much in the style of “Un Homme et Une Femme†using a very similar continuity of flashback and throught sic track'. On reading through the material presented to him Pulman found that 'one impression emerged clearer than ever – that the final shooting script 6 differed very little from Bourguignon's adaptation which Cardiff says could “never be used on a professional basis.†To see whether this impression was correct or not I made a careful breakdown of scene continuity of the Bouguignon script the Duncan script and the final shooting script and compared them. These are enclosed with this opinion.' The are Items Two to Four below. He does not 'believe that anyone comparing these breakdowns could come to any conclusion other than that the screenplay credit belongs niether sic to Cardiff nor Duncan but solely to Bourguignon'. Since Bourguignon 'seems to be claiming no credit' he proposes to amend the credit to: 'SCREENPLAY by S. Bourguignon. Additional Scenes by Ronald Duncan and Jack Cardiff.' TWO: Two-page typescript headed 'Continuity - BOURGIGNON sic'. Twenty-four points beginning with 'Rebecca rises from her husband's bed puts on her black suit takes her motorcycle and sets off to see her lover Daniel.' Last point: '24. She leaves the cafe and gets on her motor cycle again. She is going very fast. She is killed in a collision.' THREE: Three-page typescript headed 'Ronald DUNCAN - Continuity. Second Draft'. Twenty-seven numbered points beginning with: '1. Rebecca rises from her husband's bed takes her black suit and motorcycle and sets off for her lover.' Last point: '27. She leaves the grass verge and drives on. She arrives at Daniels. He is not present but she sees the photo frame this time with the woman in it which is sic obviously always takes out when he visits her. She walks out of his life leaving the motor cycle there.' FOUR: Three-page typescript headed 'Continuity - Final Script Jack Cardiff'. Thirty-one points beginning with: '1. Rebecca asleep with her husband has a dream about him and Daniel.' Last point: '31. She leaves the grass verge and gets back on the road again. Thinking of Daniel she has a collision with a car and is killed.' FIVE: Copy of typed 'postscript to my opinion dated 29th April 1968' by Pulman. On his letterhead. Dated 6 May 1968. 1p. 4to. Amending his proposed credit following a discussion 'at some length with Dick Sharples' to 'Screenplay by - RONALD DUNCAN Adapted by - JACK CARDIFF'.

1974169951Los Angeles: Rankin/Bass Productions 1974. Draft script for the 1974 animated Christmas television special originally aired on CBS on December 8 1974.

1961WRCLIT80921Culver City: Selznick International 1961. 182 leaves. Narrow large quarto 36 x 21.5 cm. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only stapled at top with coversheet. Some creasing and short tears in left margin early and late but a very good copy. The original 1938 release was directed by Norman Taurog with uncredited retakes by George Cukor and others and starred Tommy Kelly Jackie Moran May Robson Walter Brennan Victor Jory et al. This continuity was prepared for a 1961 16mm re-release. This was at least the fourth adaptation of the novel to the screen the earliest having appeared in 1907. Selznick International unknown books
1945WRCLIT85228Culver City: Vanguard Films Inc. 1945. 1168 leaves altered by scores of dated revises on colored paper and lettered inserts. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound but without title- leaf and upper wrapper. The preliminary leaf with script number and receipt coupon is intact and unclipped. Modest use otherwise very good to near fine. A heavily revised rainbow script with a primary date the same as one of the early forms of the "final shooting script" but substantially altered over more than five months by dated revises and inserts. David O. Selznick's adaptation to the screen of Busch's 1944 novel directed by King Vidor starring Jennifer Jones Joseph Cotten Gregory Peck Lionel Barrymore Lillian Gish Butterfly McQueen and Harry Carey. Eventually the film won the award for the Best Overall Production at the Venice Film Festival but had something of a bumpy road in development. Although Busch was himself a productive screenwriter for three decades with a dozen credited screenplays and uncredited work on others and he was responsible for a full treatment and collaborative early draft of the screenplay his final screen credit for the film consisted solely of "Suggested by a Novel by ." The present draft credits the script to Oliver Garrett solo. In fact an actual final shooting script would turn out to be nearly 11 months away with Ben Hecht doing some uncredited script doctoring and several uncredited directors including Josef von Sternberg stepping in to help out. Many changes were required to accommodate the various protectors of public morality and an analysis of the evolution of the film through the succession of widely disparate scripts would be informative. By the time an as yet further revised "final shooting script" dated 12 January 1946 rolled around David O. Selznick was the sole credit for screenwriter printed on the 208pp script and the Vanguard Films association was dropped entirely for Selznick International. Vanguard Films Inc. unknown books
