1979WRCLIT60364Los Angeles: Frank Yablans Presentations in Association with Twentieth Century-Fox 1979. 1156 leaves. Quarto. Mechanically reproduced typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in printed production company/studio wrappers. Near fine. A quite early "third" draft of Mayes's adaptation to the screen of Jack-Alain Léger's novel. The script for the 1982 film release directed by Frank Perry was credited on screen to Mayes. In spite of that many many subsequent drafts bear Abraham Polonsky's name exclusively. This draft differs markedly from the several Polonsky drafts that we have examined the earliest dating from October of 1979. This was the last film with which Polonsky was associated as screenwriter though to what degree it was a collaborative effort is unclear. As screenwriter for BODY AND SOUL 1947 and writer/director of FORCE OF EVIL 1948 Polonsky was well on his way toward a distinguished career in film when he was blacklisted and fired by Fox for refusing to cooperate with HUAC. He continued to work during the Blacklist either uncredited or pseudonymously and in 1996 the Writers Guild restored his real name and credits.

"7 FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN was released as both a silent film and as a sound film with Vitaphone musical score sound effects and some dialogue sequences. The film received generally negative reviews including from such publications as THE NEW YORK TIMES VARIETY -- which called it 'An utterly moronic sound film . all hokum' -- and the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER in which Mildred Martin wrote 'after all the screams and creaks and thumps it reaches a somewhat tame conclusion .' Despite this it performed well at the box office. A companion Photoplay edition of the Merritt novel published by Grosset & Dunlap and featuring several stills from the film also sold extremely well. The sound version of the film is presumed lost . and the Vitaphone soundtrack for recording is also lost." - Wikipedia. A 2014 restored copy of the silent version is available on YouTube.

Scattered and occasionally detailed revisions deletions comments and annotations in an unknown hand in pencil and ink otherwise very good or better. Denoted a "Final Draft" of Abraham Polonsky's adaptation to the screen of Jack-Alain Léger's novel. However many subsequent revised drafts followed and the script for the 1982 film release directed by Frank Perry was credited on screen to Wendell Mayes who wrote at least one early draft in February 1979. In spite of that drafts as late as October 1981 bore only Polonsky's name. This was the last film with which Polonsky was associated as screenwriter though to what degree it was a collaborative effort is unclear. As screenwriter for BODY AND SOUL 1947 and writer/director of FORCE OF EVIL 1948 Polonsky was well on his way toward a distinguished career in film when he was blacklisted and fired by Fox for refusing to cooperate with HUAC. He continued to work during the Blacklist either uncredited or pseudonymously and in 1996 the Writers Guild restored his real name and credits.
