Play It Again Sam Original screenplay for the 1972 film early draft written by Charles Grodin
First Draft script for the 1972 film. A very early version written by Charles Grodin who would go uncredited on the final film. <br/><br/>A comedy that is pretty difficult to overestimate: even though it was not directed by Woody Allen it was the template for the many great films he would subsequently write and direct in the 1970s in terms of shooting style timing romantic themes and the actors involved the irrepressible trio of Allen Keaton and Roberts. Allen had already directed two films at this point "Take the Money and Run" and "Bananas" but this film is significant in that it predicted the more substantive romantic comedies that would later place him among the most important filmmakers of his era notably "Annie Hall" 1977 and "Manhattan" 1979. <br/><br/>Goldenrod titled wrappers noted as first draft screenplay on the front wrappernoted as FIRST DRAFT SCREENPLAY at the bottom right and with a credit for Twentieth Century-Fox at the top center and the logo for APJAC Productions at the bottom center.

Charlie Chaplin (director, screenwriter, starring, subject); Upton Sinclair, Rob Wagner (subjects)
Shoulder Arms Original photograph of Charlie Chaplin Upton Sinclair and Rob Wagner on the set of the 1918 silent film
N.p.: N.p. 1918. Vintage borderless vernacular photograph of actor Charlie Chaplin writer Upton Sinclair and editor and publisher Rob Wagner on the set of the 1918 silent film. Annotations in manuscript ink on the verso identifying subjects. <br /> <br /> Wagner was the editor and publisher of "Script" a left-leaning weekly literary film magazine published in Beverly Hills between 1929 and 1949. A lifelong Socialist and advocate for progressive causes Wagner used "Script" to give a voice to blacklisted screenwriters including Dalton Trumbo and Gordon Kahn and prominent leftists including Sinclair Max Eastman and William C. deMille. <br /> <br /> Wagner served as something of a father figure to Chaplin who was about 17 years Wagner's junior after the two men met sometime in the mid-1910s. The pair formed a close friendship with Wagner serving as Chaplin's part-time secretary for a period and accompanying the actor on his Third Liberty Loan tour through the American south in 1918. Wagner introduced Chaplin to Sinclair and Max Eastman and together the three writers exerted a strong influence over Chaplin's political world view. Chaplin would go on to co-found the Motion Picture Relief Fund which later became the Motion Picture and Television Fund with Wagner in 1929. <br /> <br /> Approximately 5 x 4 inches. About Near Fine lightly age toned. N.p. unknown

Includes a large-format 14-page illustrated program and smaller bi-fold black-and-white program.

The premiere was held at both the Astor and the Capitol Theatres in New York to accommodate high patron turnout. <br /> <br /> For his follow-up to his 1936 classic "Modern Times" Chaplin chose to do what only a handful of other films dared to do in 1940-make fun of Hitler. Though several of Chaplin's previous films had made use of music and sound effects and while Chaplin had sung briefly in "Modern Times" "The Great Dictator" marked the first time he spoke dialogue onscreen. <br /> <br /> Large-format program 9 x 10 inches saddle-stapled. Smaller program 6.25 x 9.5 inches bi-fold. Both programs Very Good plus to Near Fine with some light foxing toning and soil to the extremities.<br /> <br /> Criterion Collection 565.
