Friedkin William director producer; Walon Green screenwriter; Georges Arnaud novel
Sorcerer Original screenplay for the 1977 film
Universal City CA: Universal Pictures 1976. Early Draft script for the 1977 film. At 200 pages this draft is 36 pages longer than the longest of the three we have encountered meaning almost certainly that it is a First Draft or very close.<br/><br/>The plot of William Friedkin's suspense thriller originated with the same Georges Arnaud novel that inspired Henri-Georges Clouzot's French suspense classic "The Wages of Fear" 1953. Roy Scheider Bruno Cremer Francisco Rabal and Amidou play four men who for various reasons cannot return to their own countries. They end up in a dismal South American town where an American oil company is seeking out courageous drivers willing to haul nitroglycerin over 200 miles of treacherous terrain. The four stateless men have nothing to lose and besides they'll be paid $10000 apiece and be granted legal citizenship if they survive. The suspense is almost unbearable at times even outdistancing the tension level of "The Wages of Fear" in certain scenes in particular a famous set piece wherein one of the trucks must cross a rope bridge in the middle of the Amazon-and in the middle of a monsoon. Nominated for an Academy Award. <br/><br/>Gray titled wrappers. Title page present undated with credits for screenwriter Green and novelist Arnaud. 200 leaves xerographically duplicated. Pages and wrapper Near Fine bound with two gold brads. Universal Pictures unknown books

M Original double weight photograph from the 1931 film
Berlin: Nero-Film AG 1931. Vintage oversize double weight photograph from the 1931 film. Based on the true story of psychopathic serial killer Hans Beckert nicknamed the "Vampire of Dusseldorf" here played by Peter Lorre. A brilliant image from this crime thriller classic in which the search is on for Lorre. <br/><br/>Lang's first sound film Lorre's breakthrough role and the film Lang considered to be his masterpiece-an assertion that has found much agreement since. The mood atmosphere and lighting foreshadow film noir and Lang's use of sound though primitive technologically still makes a powerful psychological impact. <br/><br/>So strongly regarded was the film that MGM producer Irving Thalberg assembled his writers and directors for a screening and told them they needed to be making films of this caliber. Banned in Germany in 1934 when the Nazis came into power at which point Lorre and Lang both of partial Jewish ancestry fled the country. The expressionistic art direction visible here the uncredited work of Edgar G. Ulmer would also serve as the basis of Ulmer's later directorial work in Hollywood where he would make some of the most creative and classic noir-style films. Set in Berlin shot there on location. <br/><br/>Nero film insignia in the lower right corner with a Dutch blind stamp at the upper right corner. Original German stills from this film are scarce: this is the only one we have ever offered. <br/><br/>9 x 12 inches. Fine. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request.
