JOUVET (Louis) comédien et metteur en scène français (1887-1951)
15 lettres ou cartes autographes signées « Louis, Ton Louis, ou le petit Louis », parfois seulement de son monogramme à l’écrivain et scénariste Henri Jeanson. 22 p. in-4 et in-12. Plusieurs en-têtes de l’Athénée, Théâtre de Louis Jouvet. Quelques lettres sont datées de 1931, 1947, 1948 et 1951.
Belle et très intéressante correspondance de Louis Jouvet à son ami intime « Zinzin ». C’est ainsi qu’il s’adresse au scénariste sans oublier sa compagne « Claude » (Claude Mercy, comédienne). Une lettre savoureuse est rédigée en vers pour l’organisation d’une journée qu’il envisage de passer avec eux. Il n’a aucune nouvelle de Marcel Pagnol. « Je pense que son apologie de Georges Ohnet a du interrompre le désir qu’il avait de me voir et suspendre son intention de travailler à la Folle de Chaillot. Je continue à tremper dans Don Juan et j’en suis tout détrempé. Au fur et à mesure que j’avance cela m’apparaît de plus en plus difficile… ». Maurice Tourneur lui a écrit, il veut faire "l’Ecole des femmes", « moi aussi. - Et puis je travaille encore Hamlet pour la Comédie Française – traduction Pagnol… » Il est satisfait que Plumet aime son film « Le Revenant » [1946]. Il lui adresse la lettre reçue ce matin de Denise Bourdet (auteure française, 1899-1967), lettre pour laquelle, il ne fait aucun commentaire. « Je n’ai sur les questions de ce genre que des opinions incertaines… Mes certitudes et mes goûts au cinéma n’étant basés que sur des sentiments d’affection et d’admiration […] Sentiments dis-je - qui me sont aussi naturels que la plume à l’oiseau, aussi nécessaires que l’eau au poisson – le soleil à la lune. – (Ce qui constitue les quatre éléments dont Dieu avait besoin pour créér -) . Sentiments sans lesquels donc je ne pourrais ni vivre, ni survivre et ce qui est pire – que tu m’inspires. - Adieu - Baise la Claude aux oreilles… ».

Juanita of Downieville ie. Josefa Segovia: Chappel Edward screenwriter i. e.
Typescript Unproduced Screenplay/Treatment: "NAKED IN HIS BLOOD" . BASED ON A STORY BY ROBERT JAMES DE MARIA
Los Angeles: Robert James de Maria 1971. 183pp. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Punched and bound in unlettered stiff card binder. Title leaf pulled at top binder clasp otherwise very near fine. Through p. 38 a partial preliminary draft of the screenplay and from p. 39 to conclusion a treatment for an interesting but evidently unsuccessful effort to translate to the screen the historical story of "Juanita" of Downieville a Mexican-American woman who was accused of murder and lynched in Downieville California in July of 1851 -- the first and only known woman lynched in Gold Rush era California. Details of "Juanita's" life up to her death including her actual name remained sketchy in early historical accounts but research into her case in the mid 1970s by Martha Cotera established that her actual name was likely Josefa Segovia and that she was around 26 at the time of her lynching. The Anglo press of the time evidently referred to her as "Juanita" based on the stereotypical shorthand portrayal of Mexican women in the press. Chappel or occasionally "Chappell" is credited with the screenplay of at least one film that saw production the 1970 Richard Boone and Leslie Caron B-western MADRON as well as script work for such television shows as HAWAIIAN EYE and 26 MEN. The ultimate fate of this project is not indicated in the present material and thus can only be speculated upon. However given the controversial and sensational character of the subject as well as the vague and often contradictory historical accounts of the actual events it is just possible that studios had no appetite for handling such a highly-charged topic in this sensationalized fashion at a point in time when the Chicano Movement and the Chicana Feminist Movement were gathering momentum.

The Red Tent Working script for the 1969 film with original reference photograph
Soviet Union: Mosfilm 1969. Working post-production script for the 1969 film. Combination of typescript and carbon typescript with annotations in red holograph ink throughout. Laid in is a vintage borderless reference photograph from the film. An unusual internal script from the production of the Soviet-Italian co-production that was ultimately distributed worldwide by Paramount Pictures. Not a post-production script in the typical sense meaning a script that reflects the finished edited film. Rather a script that was produced in the midst of editing with numerous annotations regarding editing changes that still need to be made. The text is in English but the wrapper is Italian meaning that it was likely issued by the Italian arm of the production. The commander of a failed 1928 Arctic airship expedition remembers the events of the "Italia" airship flight crash and subsequent rescue efforts. The "ghosts" of people involved in the events appear in his memories to assist him in determining his guilt in the affair. The reminiscences are mixed with the real action: the flight of the "Italia" the air rescue operation from Kings Bay airfield the expedition of the "Krassin" ice-breaker. A sort of human touch is added by the ever beautiful C.C. playing Malmgren's girlfriend. Green titled wrappers. Noting 12 reels. Carbon typescript on onionskin stock. Very Good. Photograph 8 x 10 inches some residue from an old snipe label on the verso else Near Fine. Mosfilm unknown
