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.

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 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.

1971167739Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1971. Vintage reference photograph from the 1971 "surrealist documentary" rock film showing Frank Zappa.<br /> <br /> In 1970 Zappa completely re-formed the Mothers of Invention to include drummer Aynsley Dunber jazz keyboardist George Duke and three members of The Turtles. Zappa began to write a film for the new lineup and recorded "Chunga's Revenge" 1970 with them as a "preview." Subsequently Zappa met conductor Zubin Mehta and worked with him to produce a concert in May 1970 wherein the Los Angeles Philharmonic was augmented by the Mothers or vice versa as you like and referred to this as "the second preview." <br /> <br /> The film itself shot in a week at Pinewood Studios outside London was a tripped-out documentary about life as a musician on the road and Zappa characteristically chose an eclectic group of celebrities to join the proceedings including Theodore Bikel Ringo Starr and Keith Moon. The resulting soundtrack is a matter of debate among Zappa enthusiasts but is notable for its orchestral finale "Strictly Genteel" a touchstone for the variety of classical music experimentations Zappa would subsequently pursue. <br /> <br /> 8 x 10 inches.
