‎TERROR BY NIGHT Unique Manuscript Screenplay Archive for the 1945-6 original Universal film SHERLOCK HOLMES adaptation based on Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Empty House."‎

‎Burbank California: Universal Studios 1945. Doyle A. Conan Frank Gruber screenwriter. TERROR BY NIGHT. Burbank: Universal Studios 1945-6. This unique film studio screenplay archive consists of THREE studio scripts: two original writer's draft manuscripts and the final dialogue and continuity script. In short a treasure trove of primary material relating to one of the most endearing and enduring film series of the 1940s. The twelve Sherlock Holmes films produced by Universal Pictures during the years 1942-1946 are legend; they are surely the best known screen-adapted adventures of English Literature's most iconic character and Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are still cherished as the definitive Holmes and Watson. 1. Dated July 2nd 1945 Frank Gruber's complete 113pp original typed carbon copy manuscript labeled "File Copy" accomplished on onion-skin paper brad-bound and housed in original drab brown studio covers production number 7322 with each leaf rubber-stamped "Contract File Copy" in red block letters. The cover is edge-worn but the contents are Very Good indeed. This copy belonged to Tom McKnight penciled signature so stating who served as the Universal Studios Sherlock Holmes technical adviser throughout the entire run of the series. 2. Dated September 29th 1945 Frank Gruber's complete 93pp corrected carbon copy manuscript cover-titled in pencil which includes brad-bound and laid in at the rear two studio-mimeographed sets of extensive screenwriter-corrected white revision pages dated 10/4/1945 and 10/8/1945. Overall Very Good. 3. Dated January 14th 1946 the complete original studio-mimeographed self-wrapper final post-production dialogue continuity script bound with two brads at the top. In Very Good condition. Although this film was inspired by Conan Doyle's "Adventure of the Empty House" in its characterization of Colonel Sebastian Moran and the use of an air gun as a murder weapon screenwriter Frank Gruber created what essentially was an original story and screenplay. Gruber's prior film credits included "Northern Pursuit" 1943 with Errol Flynn and "Johnny Angel" the 1945 Crime Noir starring George Raft. He was also one of the most prolific pulp magazine short story writers of the era. The producer of TERROR BY NIGHT was Howard Benedict from RKO's Saint and Falcon series. The director and executive producer was Roy William Neill who was inarguably the guiding force behind the last nine films in the series. TERROR BY NIGHT unapologetically borrowed from both of Alfred Hitchcock's train-set thrillers "The 39 Steps" 1936 and "The Lady Vanishes" 1938 and Roy William Neill's interpretation of these classics perhaps was the reason TERROR BY NIGHT is one of the best films in the series. TERROR BY NIGHT opened on February 8th 1946 to excellent reviews and the favorable reaction by a thrilled public. A unique archive a unique opportunity for the collector. . Signed. Original Manuscript. Original Wraps. Very Good. Script. Universal Studios Paperback books‎

‎PURSUIT TO ALGIERS Original Heavily Annotated Screenplay for the 1945 Universal Studios SHERLOCK HOLMES Film Adaptation‎

‎Los Angeles: Universal Studios 1945. Doyle A. Conan Leonard Lee screenwriter. PURSUIT TO ALGIERS here bearing the initial title "The Fugitive." Los Angeles: Universal Studios 1945. Dated July 26th 1945 Leonard Lee's complete brad-bound studio mimeographed draft script production number #7309 stamped on the cover consists of 113pp of typescript bearing numerous penciled revisions emendations and additions - along with another 20pp of massively hand-corrected typescript which clearly had contained so many penciled changes that the pages had to be retyped. These remarkably annotated pages have been appended to the rear of the screenplay creating a 133pp comprehensive look at the evolution of the script. Given the fragile nature of WW2-era scripts this example is in excellent original condition very good indeed the pages are a little soft with some very light edge-wear and tears. As fully marked up as any script in our nearly complete Universal Studio archive. PURSUIT TO ALGIERS set almost entirely on a passenger ship required elaborate sets and thus became the series's most expensive production; it premiered at the Rialto Theatre in New York on October 26th 1945. The twelve Sherlock Holmes films produced by Universal Pictures during the years 1942-1946 are legend; they are surely the best known screen-adapted adventures of English Literature's most iconic character and Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are still cherished despite our current superb 21st century film and TV adaptations as the definitive Holmes and Watson. A treasure for the fan of the Universal Sherlock Series. Please see our other scripts from the same archive. Signed. Original Wraps. Very Good. Script. Universal Studios Paperback books‎

Light foxing to fore-edge faint dust-soiling to wrappers but very good. An unspecified but pre-production draft of this original television Sherlock Holmes pastiche. The October 1976 release starred Roger Moore as Holmes John Huston as Moriarty Patrick Macnee as Watson and Charlotte Rampling as Irene Adler under the direction of Boris Sagal. While a novelization was published as a paperback original in 1976 the original teleplay was not published at the time. It was nominated for an Edgar Allen Poe Award and if only by virtue of the stand-out cast this addition to the Holmes adaptation canon deserves scrutiny.

‎Munich: Spengler and Busselmann 1967. Original German A1 poster for the 1967 Yugoslavian film. <br/><br/>From the collection of noted film historian Amos Vogel. Full provenance available. <br/><br/>Second feature for Dusan Makavejev the most celebrated Yugoslavian director of the 1960s. Included in this montage of stories is an erotic love scene a strudel recipe rat catching and a graphic autopsy of a female victim-all within the context of a love affair between a switchboard operator and a rat catcher. A strong example of the director's radical style combining a decidedly anti-Stalinist stance with the celebration of individual political and sexual freedom using psychological surprise as a means of movement. <br/><br/>The Criterion Collection's essay accompanying their release of the Eclipse set containing Makvejev's first three films including this one notes: "There's never been another filmmaker quite like Du an Makavejev. Even in the 1960s when all of cinema's rules seemed to be breaking down and artists such as Godard Cassavetes and Marker were dissolving the boundary between fiction and documentary.Makavejev stood alone. His films about political and sexual liberation were revolutionary raucous and ribald. Across these his wild collage-like first three films Makavejev investigates-with a tonic mix of earnestness and whimsy-love death and work; the legacy of war and the absurdity of daily life in a Communist state; criminology and hypnosis; strudels and strongmen."<br/><br/>23 x 33 inches non-archivally mounted on board.
